Is It Safe to Drive with a Cracked Windshield?

At Matthews Tire, safety is always our top priority. A cracked windshield is more than an annoyance, it’s truly a safety concern. Here’s why:

Obstructed Vision: Chips and cracks can make it harder for drivers to see clearly—especially in bright sunlight or bad weather—and that puts you and other drivers at risk.
Increased Risk of Shattering: A cracked windshield can more easily shatter from minor impacts or temperature changes.
Compromised Structural Integrity: The windshield supports structural integrity and helps ensure proper airbag deployment on the passenger side. Your windshield also contributes up to 45% of your vehicle’s structural strength in frontal collisions and up to 60% in rollovers. A crack increases the risk of roof collapse during crashes.
Legal Requirements: In Wisconsin, driving with significant windshield damage may lead to fines or penalties.

Whether you’re on a commute along I-41 or heading north to Green Bay for a Packers game, driving with a damaged windshield isn’t worth the risk. Our automotive technicians can help you know whether a repair or replacement is the best solution for your needs.

At What Point Do I Need a Windshield Replacement?

Consult with our automotive experts to get recommendations for the best course of action. Typically, a windshield replacement becomes necessary when:

Cracks are longer than 6 inches: These usually can’t be repaired safely and require replacement. However, even shorter cracks in critical areas may require replacement.
Multiple cracks or chips: In this case, your windshield’s integrity is already compromised and it needs to be replaced.
Damage in the driver’s line of sight: Even small chips can distort visibility, making it unsafe to drive.

Matthews Tire will ensure your windshield meets safety standards whether you need a quick repair or a full replacement, so you’re always ready to hit the road.

I found myself with a dead car battery late in the afternoon! Called Matthews Tire and they told me to bring the car in immediately, which I did! Fifteen minutes later my battery was installed! The reception area where I waited was very clean and inviting. Terrific "service with a smile" from the two gentlemen that were at the reception desk!
