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 a real safety concern. Here’s why:
- Obstructed Vision: Chips and cracks, especially in bright sunlight or bad weather, can make it harder to see clearly, putting you and other drivers at risk.
- Increased Risk of Shattering: A cracked windshield is more susceptible to shattering from minor impacts or temperature changes, posing injury risks.
- Compromised Structural Integrity: The windshield supports structural integrity and helps with airbag deployment in a crash. Your windshield contributes up to 45% of a vehicle’s structural strength in frontal collisions and up to 60% in rollovers. A crack weakens this integrity, increasing 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 to Green Bay for a Packers game, a damaged windshield isn’t worth the risk. Our technicians can help you determine whether a repair or replacement is the best solution for your needs.
At What Point Do I Need a Windshield Replacement?
Not all cracks are created equal. Wondering if your crack or chip is repairable? Here’s when a windshield replacement becomes necessary:
- Cracks are longer than 6 inches: These typically can’t be repaired safely and require replacement. However, even shorter cracks may require replacement if located in critical areas. Consulting with our automotive experts provides clarity on the best course of action.
- Multiple cracks or chips: If your windshield has multiple points of damage, its integrity is already compromised and it needs to be replaced.
- Damage in the driver’s line of sight: Even small chips here can distort visibility, making it unsafe to drive.
From quick repairs to full replacements, Matthews Tire ensures your windshield meets safety standards, so you’re ready to hit the road.
