The Benefits of Repairing vs. Replacing Your Windshield

Structural integrity of windshield stays intact. (Independant conclusive tests show that our resins are over 50% stronger than the actual glass itself!)

When a windshield is replaced the factory seal can never be restored. There is also a possibility that the windshield can actually be blown out in an accident (see video below). A windshield provides at minimum 20% of the crash pulse that tells the airbag when to go off.*

Nearly all replacement windshields do not meet the higher safety standards of the original manufacturer of the vehicle.

Most replacement windshields typically crack much easier.

You can save hundreds of dollars by having your windshield repaired rather than replaced.

*The OEM Seal is part of the crash pulse telling the air bag when to go off and can be altered when a windshield is replaced because, most of the time, glass shops will not look up the urethane used at the factory. This means the modulus will be different and therefore can alter the timing of the airbag which will render it useless.”

*Cracks over 14 inches long can be fixed, but there is a high probability that it has been contaminated. If a crack occurs on a clear day, it should be fixable, but it needs to be done as soon as possible. If possible cover the crack with Scotch tape to prevent any contamination until a repair can be made.

**The floater crack is a chip that was ignored and cracked from a drastic temperature change, sometimes caused by the defroster or a car wash. Unlike most cracks, this crack does not run from the edge and therefore it is called a floater crack because it is "floating" in the interior of the windshield and is usually horizontal. This can become the most difficult and time consuming crack repair, but only 10% of vehicles have this type of crack.

Warranty

Most repairs come with a 4 year warranty and Priority One will discuss this warranty at the time of service. Some exclusions apply. If warranty is not given you will be notified before any repair work is performed. Usually the warranty becomes void because of contamination (dirt) within the chip or crack. This does not mean that a repair is not possible, it just means the warranty will not be available for that repair.
