Is It Safe to Drive with a Cracked Windshield?

At Matthews Tire, safety is always our top priority. A cracked windshield is a real safety concern for drivers because:

It obstructs vision: Chips and cracks can make it harder to see clearly, especially in bright sunlight or bad weather, which puts you and other drivers at risk.
It can shatter more easily: A cracked windshield is more susceptible to shattering from minor impacts or temperature changes.
It compromises 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.

Additionally, in Wisconsin, driving with significant windshield damage may lead to fines or penalties.

Whether you’re on a commute along Highway 10 or heading up to Green Bay for a Packers game, a damaged windshield isn’t worth the risk. Our trained technicians can help you determine whether a repair or replacement is the best solution.

At What Point Do I Need a Windshield Replacement?

Wondering if your crack or chip is repairable? Here’s when a windshield replacement becomes necessary:

Damage in your line of sight: Even small chips here can distort visibility, making it unsafe to drive.
Cracks are longer than 6 inches: These typically can’t be repaired safely. However, even shorter cracks in critical areas may require windshield replacement. Talk with our automotive experts to know the best course of action.
Multiple cracks or chips: If your windshield has several points of damage, its integrity is already compromised.

From quick repairs to full replacements, Matthews Tire ensures your windshield meets safety standards, so you’re always ready to go!

My car's battery died. I had it towed to Waupaca and I called Matthews at 9:30 a.m. to let Chris know my car was coming in and would be there by 11. They diagnosed that my battery had died and I needed a new one. I figured I would pick up my car the new day and was surprised when Chris called before noon and said it was ready! Great service!
