A limit of three (3) impact points can be repaired. In the event your windshield shows over three of them, this means that its strength could be jeopardized. For safety purposes, a windshield replacement will be necessary.

Thank you!
Since the rearview mirror is attached to the windshield, will it be re-affixed to the new windshield afterwards?
It most definitely will. Your rearview mirror will be removed and reinstalled on your new windshield by our technicians.
Why is it important to repair or replace a windshield?
When a vehicle rolls over or when it crashes head-on, the windshield is largely responsible for keeping the vehicle’s structural strength as it makes up 30% of its structure. On top of that, the windshield allows for the airbags to be properly deployed to make sure the passengers are protected. A brand-new, well-installed windshield helps the vehicle regain its structural strength. It’s something that should not be overlooked.
