How do you repair a windscreen?
This depends on the damage on your windscreen. A chip can be sealed by injecting an epoxy or acrylic adhesive. Bigger cracks will likely mean you need the whole windscreen replacing before it becomes dangerous to drive. Our technicians are the best people to help with this.
What is the difference between a window and a windscreen?
The main difference is the type of glass used. The windscreen is made from laminated glass, whereas the rest of the windows in the car are made from tempered glass.
Are you allowed to drive with a cracked windscreen?
Driving with a cracked windscreen is illegal as it could easily break and cause damage to yourself, the driver, and others around you. If you notice a crack in your windscreen, it is best to get it repaired as soon as possible.
Can I replace a car window myself?
It is possible to replace a car window yourself, but you will need specialised tools, patience, as it will take time, and physical strength to lift the glass window. If you are unsure, speak to our team and we can book you in for a window repair instead to save you a job.
How long does it take to replace a windscreen on a car?
