The huge stone somehow managed to find itself through the windscreen and leaving a hole behind. So what do you do? Do you simply replace the windshield or can you just have it repaired? The answer to this question is "It depends". Just like any other damages like scratches on the paint or on the exterior of your vehicle, if the damage is too huge, then maybe it is time to replace your windscreen. On the other hand, the decision on whether the windshield should be replaced or repaired also depends on other things like the size, the location, and the severity of the damage. You see, most shops that offer windscreen repair actually recognize cases where the damage range from around chips that are around a quarter in size or cracks that could measure some three inches long. However, beyond that, replacement would be the answer. Fortunately, it is now possible to repair cracked and gravely scratched auto windscreen. New auto windscreen repair solutions include the revolutionary PRISM (pre-resin injection suspension method) technology and various techniques that entail injecting resins into the cracks with or without vacuum. This process can take a few minutes or last as long an hour, depending upon the crack at hand. Windscreen repair can absolutely be done as a do-it-yourself task. You need not take your car to the garage. But first, you should check how severe the damage is. If the broken windscreen is less than two inches, you can do the job yourself with a kit intended for repair purpose. If the crack is more than two inches, it is better to get the job done by a professional. If the crack is less than two inches, do not just ignore it. The crack may extend and cover up an extensive area on the windscreen. You need to find out if cracked windscreen repair is what you need or you have to actually replace the whole of the windscreen. You would also have to determine the time the cracks might have been on the windscreen. If it has been a month long, it is possible to repair the cracks yourself. But if it has been more than a month, it is recommended that you consult a car repair professional. Therefore, it is better that you take initial steps as soon as you come to know about the crack. Windscreen is the first line of defense for you and your family in case of accident. It is essential that it should be the one without any crack and damage. If damage is already present, the windscreen is more likely to shatter during impact and could result in one less barrier between passengers and the road during a crash.
