// Reliable Rear Windshield Replacement Service
Repair or Replace?
Rear windshield damage often requires replacement rather than repair to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the vehicle for the following reasons:
Reason #1 – The rear windshield is made of tempered glass, designed to shatter into small, dull pieces upon impact to minimize the risk of injury. Unlike laminated glass used in front windshields, tempered glass cannot be repaired using resin injection techniques because of its manufacturing process and the way it breaks.
Reason #2 – Damage to the rear windshield tends to be more severe due to its location. It’s more exposed to road debris, weather elements, and external impacts, making cracks and chips often larger and more complex.
Reason #3 – The defrosting elements embedded within the rear windshield for demisting purposes can interfere with the repair process, affecting the effectiveness and safety of the repair.
