When can glass be repaired?
Glass breakage turns out to be one of the most common damages when a car needs to go through the automobile glass workshop. If a glass on our vehicle is broken, no matter how small the opening, it is essential to go to a professional center to repair it before the crack spreads. In this way, replacement can be avoided and repair can be chosen, which will be much more beneficial for the environment and reduce costs in fixing the cracked front windscreen, rear or side.
However, a cracked glass does not always offer the possibility of being repaired. In fact, for this it is necessary, first of all, that the technical team checks the extent of the damage. Thus, if the glass has a perforation without cracks and of an approximate size smaller than a two-euro coin, it can be repaired, as is the case with the bull’s-eye. This is a cone-shaped hole in the windscreen.
On the other hand, if the crack in the glass contains fissures, we are talking about a larger and more serious break. If the crack is somewhat deep, any small external obstacle such as a stone or a pothole will be enough for its size to increase until it is impossible to carry out a repair, the only alternative then being replacement.
ADAS system and windscreen: what is the connection?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, in Spanish Sistemas Avanzados de Asistencia a la Conducción, describes a method focused on increasing safety while driving. And although it is an added value in assistance during a journey, it is important to underline that we are not talking about an autopilot, so having the ADAS system should not imply neglect on the road.
This system is made up of several sensors or cameras, capable of detecting alerts in the environment and, in this way, warning the driver. And this is where we find the connection between the ADAS system and a cracked front windscreen: these cameras may be integrated into the car’s windscreen.
A guarantee of road safety is essential for all drivers on the roadway. Thus, a damaged windscreen will impair the proper functioning of the ADAS system, being an essential element for reducing accidents. In our country alone, the risk of suffering a serious accident could be reduced by up to 60% if all cars were equipped with this system.
Ralarsa is synonymous with an extra in sustainability
In addition to the aforementioned, a windscreen in optimal condition will be conditio sine qua non for passing the roadworthiness inspection (ITV), just like other aspects that are carefully inspected and checked to ensure safe driving.
Repairing a cracked front windscreen saves time. At Ralarsa we only need your car to be parked for 30 minutes, whether in one of our network’s workshops or wherever you indicate, thanks to our home service. It also means financial savings compared to replacing the glass.
Last but not least, in any Ralarsa automobile glass workshop, environmental conservation is essential. In order to do our bit, whenever possible we will choose to repair a windscreen rather than replace it. Learn more about us by visiting our website.
