Windshield cracks and chips are common, especially due to flying debris o r temperature changes. Here’s how to address them:

Small Cracks/Chips: For minor chips o r small cracks less than 3 inches, a DIY repair kit can be purchased. These kits typically come with resin that can be injected into the crack and then cured with UV light. This prevents the crack from spreading and improves visibility.

Larger Cracks: If the crack is more than 3 inches, it’s usually recommended to replace the entire windshield. Large cracks weaken the structural integrity of the windshield, posing a safety risk. A professional can replace the windshield if needed.

Temporary Fixes: If you’re unable to repair a crack immediately, clean the area and apply clear tape over the crack to prevent dirt and moisture from making the problem worse.

Solution: If the crack is small, use a repair kit for a temporary fix. For larger cracks, it’s best to replace the windshield to ensure safety.
