A stone hitting the windscreen is a common cause of glass damage; another is stress on the vehicle’s body from an accident.
Some drivers ignore a small scratch or chip in their windscreen, thinking it a minor annoyance.
There are two reasons why this is not the case:
- Any glass default can impact the strength and safety of the windscreen and make it susceptible to further damage
- Air may be entering through the chip, which the human eye will register as a blurred area, thereby affecting your optical clarity
One of the important requirements for motor vehicles is that the driver must have the clearest possible view of the road particularly in poor lighting conditions at dusk, night or while driving in the rain.
When repairing a chip that complies to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2366.1:1999 This will result in your windscreen being as strong as before the damage occurred and will greatly improve the optical clarity of the repaired area.
Our qualified and experienced auto glass technician will usually take about 30 to 45 minutes to repair a fault.

Remember that if a windscreen chip is in the driver’s line of sight only has to be bigger than 15mm for your windscreen to fail its registration check.
