// Reliable Auto Window Glass Replacement Service
Repair or Replace?
Side window glass damage often requires replacement rather than repair due to the following common reasons:
#1 Safety Concerns – Side windows are made from tempered glass, which shatters into small, blunt pieces upon impact to reduce the risk of injury. Even minor damage usually compromises the integrity of the entire window, making it unsafe to drive without a replacement.
#2 Structural Integrity – If the glass is damaged, it can affect the car’s ability to withstand impacts, particularly in the case of a rollover accident. Replacement ensures the vehicle remains structurally sound.
#3 Visibility Issues – Even a small crack can obstruct the driver’s view, particularly in low-light or bright-light conditions, making replacement necessary.
