Windshield cracks and chips should always be repaired as soon as possible. If they go unaddressed, then they’re liable to grow larger to the point that they necessitate windshield replacement. It’s also important to promptly fix windshield damage so that you have a safe view of the road. At First Class Auto Body & BumperDoc Inc., our local body shop specializes in auto glass repair in the greater Scottsdale, AZ area. Here are four kinds of windshield damage that need to be quickly repaired. 

Windshield Crack

If you have a windshield crack that is longer than five inches, then your windshield will probably have to be replaced. Shorter windshield cracks should be fixed ASAP so that they don’t get the chance to expand to the extent that windshield replacement becomes necessary. Also, in the state of Arizona you can get ticketed for having a windshield crack that creates a safety hazard.

Bullseye Break

This type of rock chip has an impact point that is surrounded by rings, looking a bit like a target. If you have this type of windshield damage, you’re fortunate in that it’s typically easy to fix. When rock chips are smaller than a quarter, they can usually be repaired in short order. But if they go unrepaired, then they’re liable to grow larger and necessitate windshield replacement.

Half Bullseye Break

If a rock impacts the window from a sideways trajectory, then a half bullseye break could occur. This type of rock chip is somewhat more complicated to fix than the standard bullseye break.

Star Chip

With this kind of rock chip, there’s a central impact point from which lines jut outward. Star chips easily grow bigger, so it’s important to be proactive about fixing them.
