Where to go for a replacement if you get a crack on your windscreen?

Windscreens of cars are typically designed and built in such a way that they can withstand some extensive knocks and impacts, but that doesn't mean that they are not prone to damage. Windscreens can have severe damage, and as a result, a badly cracked windshield shall block your vision and in worst case scenarios, lead to fatal accidents.

  Why do you need to repair your automotive windscreen?  
As windscreen repairing services are so much cheaper in comparison to getting a complete new windscreen, the job may be done for free, depending on your insurance coverage. When a windscreen gets chipped or cracked, some impurities such as moisture and dust get into it. Over time and with movement and variations in temperature even the smallest chip can expand into a wide screen crack. Before you know it your screen will need replacing and that will be definitely more expensive than a repair. Here are the 4 main things that could be helpful to decide if the windscreen should be replaced or repaired.   Size of the chip: If the size of the chip is smaller than 6 inches, it can be repaired, if the size of the chip is bigger than 6 inches or has a collection of cracks around it, then it should be replaced.  The position of the chip: If the distance between the chip and edge of the screen is more than 3 cm, then the clip can be repaired. If the chip is closer, replacement of screen is suggested.

Other things when a windscreen replacement is a necessary to include if the chip is over the line of driver's vision or the damage is embedded between 2 layers.
