“Dirk turned on the car wipers, which grumbled because they didn't have quite enough rain to wipe away, so he turned them off again. Rain quickly speckled the windscreen. He turned on the wipers again, but they still refused to feel that the exercise was worthwhile, and scraped and squeaked in protest.” ― Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

Kinto_M came up with this fun fanon explanation for the Aurebesh in this scene: "The Vrnie Einrv, a once-glamorous, now-passe arcology of residential towers with a population of just over two million. The name is a pun in an old Taung dialect. No one remembers exactly what it means."

But no, a light was hovering above the downward slope, on a level with the windscreen and some distance ahead, for it illuminated the patch of road beneath it: he could see white spikes of grass on both sides of the lit patch.

Can a Repaired Windshield Be as Strong as a New One? The Truth Revealed

When you spot a crack or chip on your windshield, your first thought might be: "Should I repair it or replace the entire windshield?" A common concern among drivers is whether a repaired windshield can be as strong as a brand-new one. The short answer? It depends on several factors. In this blog, we’ll break down the truth about windshield repairs, what to expect, and whether you can trust a fixed windshield to keep you safe on the road.

The Science Behind Windshield Repairs

Windshield glass is made of laminated safety glass, consisting of two layers of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer. This design helps prevent shattering upon impact. When your windshield sustains minor damage, specialized resin is injected into the crack or chip to restore the structural integrity of the glass.

The resin hardens and bonds with the glass, preventing the damage from spreading further. However, while this process strengthens the affected area, it doesn’t make your windshield exactly like new. So, does that mean a repaired windshield is weaker? Not necessarily.

Factors That Affect Windshield Repair Strength

1. Size and Depth of the Damage

Not all windshield damage can be repaired effectively. Small chips (typically under the size of a quarter) and cracks under 6 inches can usually be fixed with excellent results. However, if the damage is too deep or has multiple branching cracks, the repair may not restore full strength, and replacement becomes the safer option.

2. Quality of the Repair

Not all windshield repairs are created equal. The skill of the technician, the type of resin used, and the repair process all play a crucial role. A professional windshield repair service, like Star Windshield, ensures high-quality resin is used, and the damage is properly sealed to maintain the glass’s integrity.

3. Location of the Damage

If the damage is in your direct line of sight, even a high-quality repair might leave minor distortions that can affect visibility. Additionally, cracks near the edge of the windshield compromise structural integrity, making replacement a better option.

4. Time Since the Damage Occurred

The longer you wait to repair a crack or chip, the more debris and moisture can seep into the damage, reducing the effectiveness of the repair. Immediate repair is always recommended for the best results.

Does a Repaired Windshield Offer the Same Protection?

A properly repaired windshield can restore up to 90-95% of its original strength. While it may not be 100% as strong as a brand-new windshield, it still provides sufficient protection in everyday driving conditions. However, keep in mind that if your windshield already had structural weaknesses before the repair, it may not hold up as well in case of another impact.

When Should You Opt for a Full Windshield Replacement?

While repairs are effective, sometimes replacement is the only option. Here’s when you should consider a full replacement:

The crack is longer than 6 inches.

The damage is in the driver’s direct line of sight.

The crack extends to the edges of the windshield.

There are multiple or spreading cracks that weaken the glass.

Is Repair a Reliable Option?

Yes! If done correctly, a repaired windshield can be almost as strong as a new one and will save you money. However, choosing the right professionals for windshield repair in Burlington is crucial for the best results.

Quickly defog your windshield by turning on the defroster and setting the temperature to hot. Blast the AC to remove moisture from the air. Crack the windows slightly to let fresh air circulate. If needed, use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away any excess condensation. This combination of heat, air conditioning, and fresh air will efficiently clear your windshield for safe driving.

The WIndscreen Phenomenon

Earl’s Service Station was well known in town. It had to be. It was on the corner of Broadway and Main, downtown. Everybody in the city went to get their cars serviced, and the gasoline tank filled up there; they had to; it was the only gas station in the small town. When I was a kid working in a gas station, Earl or his son Skip would wash the windows of cars while they were filling up. He would…
