The Truth About Windshield Crack Repair: What Can Really Be Fixed at Home

Why At-Home Car Care Just Makes Sense

Got a crack or chip on your windshield? You might be wondering—can this really be repaired at home, or do I need a full replacement? The good news is, many minor windshield issues can be fixed quickly, safely, and professionally—without ever stepping foot in a repair shop.

Here’s everything you need to know about what’s possible with mobile windshield crack repair.

What Can Be Repaired at Home

  1. Small Chips (Smaller Than a Coin)
    If the chip is smaller than a 1-peso or quarter coin and not in the driver’s direct line of sight, we can usually repair it in under an hour.
  2. Short Cracks (Under 6 Inches)
    Cracks under 6 inches that haven’t spread too far can typically be sealed and strengthened with a resin-based process.
  3. Star or Bullseye Cracks
    These are common shapes for windshield damage caused by rocks or debris. As long as they’re not too deep or clustered, they can be handled on-site.
  4. Damage That’s Not at the Edge
    Cracks near the edge of your windshield can compromise structural strength. But if the crack is more centered, it’s a safer candidate for repair.

What Can’t Be Repaired (and Needs Full Replacement)

  • Cracks longer than 6 inches
  • Spider-web cracks or multiple overlapping chips
  • Damage in the driver’s line of sight
  • Cracks that go all the way through the glass
  • Edge cracks that could affect windshield stability

     

In these cases, safety comes first—a full replacement is the better call.

What Can’t Be Repaired (and Needs Full Replacement)
