Assess glass damage before a small chip becomes a full replacement.
Location, size, depth and contamination determine whether a chip can be repaired. Replacement focuses on correct fit, sealing and the systems attached to the glass.
A windshield chip or crack is assessed for location, size, depth and visibility before deciding on repair or replacement. Vehicles with windshield-mounted driver-assistance cameras also need a vehicle-specific calibration check.
