When Does a Windshield Need Full Replacement Instead of Repair

 

Not every crack can be repaired, and knowing the difference can save you money and keep you safer on the road. Cracks longer than a few inches, damage in the driver’s direct line of sight, or chips near the edge of the glass usually call for full windshield replacement rather than a patch. Star Windshield handles auto glass replacement across St. Catharines, Grimsby, Welland, and the wider Niagara region, with a 90-day product warranty on every job and a simplified insurance claims process so you are not left sorting out paperwork alone.
