Windshield Repair for Rock Chips and Pits
As you drive around Dallas, chances are high that your windshield will eventually get some minor rock chips and pits. This is no surprise because your windshield is often pelted with pebbles and debris kicked up from the road.
You can ignore chips if you want, but leaving them can compromise the durability of the entire windshield. Over time, chips can spread and form cracks that weaken the glass.
Get rock chips repaired with the help of Xtreme Autoglass Pros! Our capable technicians have the tools, materials, and expertise necessary to restore chips, pits, and dents. We’ll repair your windshield to prevent cracking so it’s road-worthy once more.
Repair is faster than replacement — most windshields can be repaired in 30 minutes or less.
How Rock Chips are Repaired
Minor windshield damage can be repaired with the use of a vacuum injection device. The injector forces a clear resin into the damaged are. This smooths out the break and restores the clarity of the glass.
This device can only mend small chips, not large cracks. If your windshield has a large crack in it, it must be replaced. Since small chips can quickly turn into giant cracks, it’s best to get them repaired as soon as possible to avoid needing a windshield replacement.
What Type of Damage Can Be Repaired?
If the damage on your windshield fits certain criteria, we can usually fix it. If you can answer “YES” to all the following criteria, your chip can most likely be repaired. This can save you time and money because most insurance companies waive the deductible if your windshield is repaired instead of replaced.
► Chips must be less than the size of a quarter. This means the whole crack or chip must fit underneath the quarter.
► Damage that goes all the way through the glass cannot be repaired. The rock chip must only be in the top layer of the laminated glass.
► Chips or dings that occur on the inside surface of the windshield are not repairable.
