What are the risks of having a broken windshield? 

Windshield damage can lead to a number of financial risks, including

• Further Windshield Damage. Driving at high speeds puts a significant strain on auto glass, a factor which it is designed to withstand.  However, once the integrity of the glass has been compromised due to damage, it may lose its ability to handle these stresses.  This leads to damage growing and potentially transforming into different forms as time goes by.  The worse the damage, the more expensive repairs will be.  What once could have been fixed for less than $50 may cost upwards of $1,500.  
• Vehicle Damage from Accidental Collisions. Windshield damage can make it difficult or impossible to see the road clearly.  Drivers that cannot properly see are at much greater risk of being involved in an accident.  Accidents are highly unpredictable and can leave any part of a vehicle in need of repair.  They may even render a vehicle completely unsalvageable.  Depending on the extent of the damage, accidents can end up causing hundreds, even thousands of dollars.
• Degradation of Vehicle Interior Components. Windshields protect the sensitive interiors of our vehicles from the harsh elements of nature, such as rain, direct sunlight, humidity, and cold.  Damaged windshields are no longer able to keep these forces out.  As time passes, nature will slowly degrade the components of the interior, possibly even destroying them.  For example, water and mildew can eventually ruin seating materials.  Direct sunlight and heat can warp or crack console plastic.  Depending on what parts are damaged and how severely they are damaged, replacing the interior of a vehicle can also cost thousands.  
• Medical Bills. Perhaps the most expensive and worst risk of broken windshields is medical bills.  Accidents caused by broken windshields can result in very serious and even fatal injuries.  Some accidents result in months or years of intensive care and debilitating after effects.  Additional injuries can be caused by unblocked airborne objects striking vehicle occupants.  

How is auto glass damage repaired? 

It depends on the exact nature of the damage.  Minor damage is usually repairable through the use of special adhesive chemicals.  These compounds bind separated glass together, sealing the interior and stopping the damage from spreading.  This type of repair has the dual benefits of being inexpensive and quick to complete.  Unfortunately, adhesives can’t fix all windshield damage.  They are insufficient for extensive damage, most cracks, missing glass, and instances where the damage is in the direct line-of-sight of the driver.  Such cases require that all existing auto glass be removed and replaced with a new windshield.  Windshield replacement is normally more expensive and time consuming than repair, but it is often the only safe and effective way to get the job done.
