When replacement may be required
Sometimes it is not cost effective to repair a windscreen. The cost involved can be significant when repairing chips and cracks while leaving the rest of the windscreen badly sandblasted.
- Pitted or sandblasted glass: numerous showers of small stones over time can leave the windscreen unable to pass roadworthy standards.
- Large cracks: cracks greater than 30cm cannot be repaired to the required safety standard because repair affects the impact strength of the windscreen.
- Multiple stone chips: repairing more than three or four stone chips can approach the replacement cost on some models.
- Wiper or foreign-object scratches: ground-in wiper marks and scratches cannot be polished or repaired to the roadworthy standards of most inspection stations.
- Leaking or failed seals: a leaking windscreen may need to be removed for seal or rust repairs, and removal can result in the windscreen requiring replacement.
