Have A Damaged Windshield In Ogden That Needs To Be Repaired Or Replaced?

When a windshield has been damaged from weathering or collisions, it can be difficult to know where to take it for a quick and quality repair. By filling out the form on this website or dialing 1-800-Windshield, a customer can be referred directly to a highly-rated windshield repair shop in the Ogden area. The windshield is an incredibly important part of every vehicle. These factors need to be considered when debating whether or not to seek repairs:

  • Windshield damage can expand overnight from weather shifts and temperature changes. Something small can become a crack or worse if not attended to immediately.
  • Auto glass can be fixed quickly with modern techniques and well trained technicians. Most auto shops understand that a windshield repair is never planned for and can push a car through the process quickly.
  • Affiliates of the 1-800-Windshield network can provide a free estimate on any of the work that needs to be done. This should eliminate any fear of impending costs

What makes auto glass so collision and weather resistant?

The windshield is actually two layers of glass with a poly-vinyl laminate fused between them. This middle layer of tough plastic is invisible to human eyes and creates an incredibly strong structure that is commonly referred to as safety glass or laminated glass. The lamination provides a malleable structure that can bend around an impact point instead of shattering and dispersing through the cabin like normal glass. Safety glass can break in stages, instead of all at once, allowing for a driver to identify problems and seek repairs. There are other features included in modern auto glass that are often not considered. These bonuses are just assumed to be a portion of every vehicle made today:

  • Safety glass is highly sound absorbent, especially to high frequency noise. This makes the passenger cabin a much calmer place and allows the driver to better focus on driving.
  • Ultraviolet radiation is blocked very effectively. Up to 97% of it never enters the passenger cabin. This prevents sunburn and helps moderate the temperature.

Is a car with a damaged windshield safe to drive?

If windshield damage is suspected or observed, it needs to be taken to an auto glass professional for an analysis. Getting a free quote on any repairs that need to be done can be a simple process and shouldn't be avoided. The purpose of the safety system in a car is to reduce risk. By actively ignoring damage, the risk level rises. In the event of a collision, a damaged windshield may not be able to do its job correctly. Keep an eye for the following types of damage:

  • Cracks can form overnight from weather events or suddenly from mild impacts. These need to be fixed before they worsen.
  • Scratches are often from light impacts or rough weather. They are weak spots that need to be repaired before they grow into bigger problems.
  • Chipped windows need to be taken to an auto shop immediately before the entire window is compromised.

Any of these issues can grow from something as simple as temperature shifts overnight.
