Windshield Safety
In cases of minor
damage to your windshield, a windshield repair- instead of a full windshield replacement
- can often restore the integrity of the glass. The auto glass technician injects
a resin-based bonding agent into the damaged area. This stops the windshield from
cracking further and prevents the damage from spreading. Once a windshield repair
is complete, the driver's view is no longer impaired by the damage (if you look
closely, you may be able to detect some residual scarring where the glass was filled
with the bonding agent). Windshield repairs are not done for cosmetic reasons, only to structuralize your windshield.
Windshield repairs are less expensive and take less time than a full windshield replacement,
often less than 30 minutes. They are covered by most insurance companies. In fact,
many insurance companies will waive the deductible if the windshield can simply
be repaired instead of replaced.
Safety will never be compromised for cost and convenience, so if there is any question
whether a windshield should be repaired or replaced, both the insurance company
and TeleGlass National will insist on a windshield replacement. However, when a
windshield can be repaired, you'll save money and you can drive the car almost right
away.
Windshield repair is eco-friendly as the auto glass does not
end up in a landfill. If you are looking for a “green” option
for your windshield damage, a windshield repair is a great alternative to windshield
replacement.
