High Class Windscreens · Canberra ACT

Should a Windscreen Be Repaired or Replaced?

Damage size, depth, location, age, contamination and proximity to the edge or driver vision area influence the decision.

The practical answer

Damage size, depth, location, age, contamination and proximity to the edge or driver vision area influence the decision.

What changes the outcome

Damage location and severity, glass specification, vehicle technology, contamination, parts availability and manufacturer instructions can all affect the next step.

What to ask

Confirm the glass features, inclusions, mouldings, calibration pathway, safe-drive-away time and any care instructions. Insurance customers should also verify excess and claim conditions.

Safety first

Avoid relying on a photograph alone when damage affects visibility or the windscreen edge. Arrange an appropriate assessment and minimise unnecessary driving if the glass appears unsafe.
