Is It Safe to Drive with a Cracked Windshield?

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

It can obstruct your vision: Chips and cracks, especially in bright sunlight or bad weather, can make it harder to see the road clearly.
It has a higher risk of shattering: A cracked windshield can more easily shatter from minor impacts or temperature changes, posing injury risks.
It compromises structural integrity: The 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. Your windshield also helps ensure passenger-side airbags deploy correctly.
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 up to Green Bay for a Packers game, don’t risk the trip with a damaged windshield. Our 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?

Not all cracks are created equal. Here’s when a windshield replacement becomes necessary:

Cracks that are longer than 6 inches: These typically can’t be repaired safely. Even some shorter cracks in critical areas may mean your windshield needs replacement. Consult with our automotive experts for the best course of action.
Multiple cracks or chips: If your windshield has multiple areas of damage, its integrity is already compromised.
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 always ready to hit the road.

Frequently Asked Windshield Repair Questions

Can you fix a cracked windshield without replacing it?

You can fix a cracked windshield without replacing it if the crack is small, typically under six inches. Windshield repair involves injecting resin into the crack to restore structural integrity and prevent spreading. Repairs work best on minor chips and cracks that don’t obstruct the driver’s view.

How long will a cracked windshield last?

A cracked windshield can last days to months, depending on the size, location and severity of the damage. Temperature changes, vibrations and moisture can cause cracks to spread quickly. Driving with a cracked windshield increases safety risks and prompt repair or replacement is recommended.

What is the cost of windshield replacement?

Windshield replacement costs range from $200 to $500, depending on the vehicle make, model, and type of glass. Luxury or specialty vehicles can cost over $1,000. Insurance may cover the cost if comprehensive coverage applies. OEM glass is more expensive than aftermarket options. At Matthews Tire in Appleton, WI, we offer competitive pricing and can provide an accurate estimate tailored to your vehicle’s specifications.

Does insurance cover windshield repair or replacement?

Insurance may cover windshield repair or replacement if you have comprehensive coverage. Many policies waive the deductible for minor repairs, but full replacement may require a deductible. Coverage varies by provider, state, and policy terms. Check with your insurer for specific details.

How long does the windshield replacement process take?

Windshield replacement typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. However, the adhesive requires one to two hours to cure before driving. Some adhesives may need up to 24 hours for full strength. Waiting ensures proper bonding and safety.

What should I look for in a reputable auto glass repair service?

A reputable auto glass repair service should have certified technicians, high-quality materials, and positive customer reviews. Look for companies using OEM or high-quality aftermarket glass and strong adhesives. Warranty coverage and insurance assistance are also key indicators of reliability.

How can I prevent windshield damage in the future?

Prevent windshield damage by maintaining a safe following distance, avoiding gravel roads and parking in shaded areas to reduce temperature stress. Use proper windshield wipers, avoid slamming car doors and repair minor chips promptly to prevent spreading. Regular inspections help detect early signs of damage.
