Windshield replacement can leave you with a lot of questions. While it’s not a difficult procedure, it’s important to know everything you can about windshield replacement before you pay for the process. This can also help you avoid damaging the windshield or botching the installation once everything is completed. Here are some common questions and concerns surrounding windshield replacement.
1. Do I have to replace my windshield or can it be repaired? The National Glass Association states that a damaged windshield should be mended as soon as possible. If you’ve got a simple ding or a chip in the glass then repair is likely the best route.

Essentially you’re creating a blind spot directly in your field of vision. This can make you miss red lights, a pedestrian, the brake lights on another vehicle, debris falling into the road, etc. It also negates the glare reduction of windshields, making it harder to see when driving into sunlight or at night.
