Cracked Windshield Repair - Long Cracks

If you have a cracked windshield, repair is still an option!

Any crack over 6" is considered a long crack. As with short cracks, both the original rock chip and the crack must be repaired to restore the structural integrity of the windshield.

Cracks from 6-14" can be repaired, however, our technician does not provide this service at this time.

Insurance Claims for Long Cracks

If the windshield crack is longer than 6" your insurance may not pay for the repair.

Usually, insurance companies require that you replace the windshield if it contains a crack over 6 inches long. Not only will you have to pay the deductible, but replacement claims often result in increased insurance rates.

This long crack is in the driver's line of vision. The cracked windshield must be replaced.

For best results, get cracked windshields repaired as soon as possible.

The quality of the repair often depends on the following:

• type of windshield damage
• length and age of the break
• amount and type of contamination inside the break

If you notice a rock chip or small crack starting to spread, immediately call GlassLogic at 972-983-8571 for cracked windshield repair.

Stop Crack Procedures

If your windshield needs to be replaced but you cannot afford it, our technician can perform an emergency stop crack procedure. This usually stops a crack from spreading, but the entire length of the crack is not filled with resin.

This is a temporary measure and is not intended to be a substitute for replacing the windshield.

If you cannot afford your deductible, speak to your insurance agent about getting a stop crack repair. We have found that in some cases, insurance companies will pay for a stop crack procedure and waive the deductible. When speaking to your agent, make sure to request GlassLogic as your cracked windshield repair provider.

Sometimes the crack fills on its own during the stop crack procedure. However, we cannot guarantee that the crack will more than a few inches from either end.

In some cases, an inspection is necessary for the technician to determine if a crack is repairable. You can save time and avoid a possible service call fee by measuring the crack first.

Our technician does not repair cracks longer than 6 inches!

If the crack is shorter than 7 " but you are still unsure whether it can be fixed, feel free to email a photo of the damage for the repair technician to review. (Please contact us for further instructions.)
