Oakville’s chilly weather makes it a ripe environment for already damaged windshields to crack further, which can lead to requiring a full replacement. Not replacing your damaged windshield in these types of temperatures and as the seasons change will only lead to further damage and reduced visibility that is why we have auto glass professionals who are here to assist drivers with various services regarding your windshield, including replacements.
There are three main factors to look at when deciding if you need a complete windshield replacment
- 1. Size – small damage is easier to repair, different types of damage such as bulls-eyes, chips, cracks, pits require more attention and have limits on repairability
- 2. Depth – windshields are made of three layers, two glass and a thin layer of plastic in between, often it is the first layer of the glass that is penetrated
- 3. Location – Where the damage is on the windshield is a dominant factor when deciding between repair or replacement
