Is windshield glass repair vs. replacement the same thing?

Windshield replacement is better at removing damage

The question of whether windshield glass repair vs. replacement is a better choice comes down to if you want your windshield truly fixed. The difference can be significant when it comes to windshield glass since attempts at repair all too often leave the vehicle owner dissatisfied with the result.

Depending on your windshield damage, Same Day Windshields typically recommends replacement over chip repair, as chips can continue to crack and expand across the glass. When small chips are filled with resin any dirt or debris present in the chip will still be visible after the repair attempt.

Windshield glass repair vs. replacement is an easy choice in states that feature optional glass waivers and zero deductibles on insurance policies or statutes that waive the deductible for replacing a damaged windshield, such as the case with Florida auto insurance windshield replacement law.

Insurance may opt for windshield glass repair vs. replacement

It is common for insurance companies to suggest vehicle owners choose windshield glass repair vs. replacement in cases where damage is smaller than a dollar bill. However, insurance companies usually will approve windshield replacement at the customer’s request. This is especially the case when several chips have occurred or if they have begun to crack like a spider web, or if the damage is in the driver’s line of vision.

In addition, our technicians will work with you to remove any stickers or passes on the old windshield and transfer them to the new glass whenever possible. This extra step often allays concerns some vehicle owners have when making a decision on windshield repair vs. replacement.

Same Day Windshields uses high-quality original or original-equivalent glass, and we guarantee the seal around the windshield along with all parts and labor for as long as you own your vehicle. This makes the decision of windshield glass repair vs. replacement that much more of a slam dunk.
