Living in Oakland exposes drivers to traffic and a number of possible hazards on a daily basis. For example, the Caldecott Tunnel through Berkeley Hills, which has undergone re-construction, can be strewn with gravel pieces, stones and other materials. Rocks kicked up by vehicles or large trucks can often bombard your windshield causing everything from minor chips to bullseye cracks.

Damage to auto glass is typical

There are an infinite number of ways windshields can incur damage and we have seen it all.  With this breadth of experience and knowledge, our experts know the best solutions to keep you safe.  Some of the more typical damage to auto glass occurs because of :

  • Road hazards that involve hard objects like rocks kicked up by other cars on the road.  \
  • Glass expanding too quickly because the interior temperature heats up too quickly because drivers blasting the heat while the outside air remains frigid.
  • Car hoods that are not fully closed and fly back.
  • Everthing from cells phones to decorative objects on the dash which smash into the windshield.
  • Divots in the glass created by forceful removal of the rear view mirror.  
  • Pressure washing nozzles and hoses that accidentally smack against the glass. 
  • Snapping wiper blades down when they are being replaced.

Repair findings we often see

  • Damage in the middle of a windshield is likely to be more conducive to repair than a crack on the edge of the glass because the center absorbs more shock.  
  • If the chip or crack is less than the size of a quarter, it can most likely be fixed in about half an hour. 
  • Often times, cracks that appear on the edge of windshield is due to a faulty manufacturing and compromises the windshield's structural integrity. It may need to be replaced for safety reasons.

Auto glass integrity is important for safety

  • Though most of us take it for granted, windshields are a vital element of safety. They support the car's overall structure and when compromised, the correct deployment of airbags and proper function of seatbelts can fail. Additionally, the vehicle's engineered crumple zones may not hold during a collision. 
  • The windshield is also the first line of protective defense in many collisions.  It is designed with strong safety glass which will hold together. The inter-layer polymers act as a shield when there is impact.  
  • Any type of damage that creates visual distortion can lead to an accident. Even a minor scratch on the windshield can impede a driver's ability to see clearly.
