Replacing and repairing glass is one of the key aspects in maintaining any vehicle — from cars and vans to trucks and tractors. Nevertheless, one of the vehicles where glass maintenance is most crucial is the truck, as these are designed to transport heavy goods and to run on the road for prolonged periods of time.
During a truck’s route, it is possible for a fragment of gravel from the asphalt to be projected and hit the vehicle’s windscreen — an unforeseen event that can cause a break in the glass. At Ralarsa, a glass workshop specialising in truck windscreen repair and replacement, we explain all the details to bear in mind when designing a maintenance and glass repair plan for trucks.
Repair or replace the truck windscreen?
For trucks, as with any other type of vehicle, the decision to repair or replace the windscreen will depend on the damage caused by the impact on the glass. In cases where the impact has created a break smaller than the diameter of a two‑euro coin, the best option is to carry out a truck glass repair. However, if the damage to the truck’s glass is larger than this diameter, it will be necessary to replace the entire windscreen.
It should be noted that, whenever possible, glass repair is prioritised over replacement. Nevertheless, since such an impact can quickly turn into irreparable damage, it is advisable to visit your nearest glass workshop as soon as possible or opt for our company’s mobile service. At Ralarsa, with more than 40 years of experience in glass repair and replacement, we have a network made up of multiple centres so you can carry out your vehicle’s glass maintenance as quickly and easily as possible.
Advantages of repairing your truck’s glass at Ralarsa
Why prioritise repair over replacement? Repairing your truck’s glass is a process that restores your vehicle’s structural safety to the same level as when it left the factory. To do this, Ralarsa’s specialist technicians apply a mixture of special resins to the impact area which, once hardened, restores the glass’s original strength.

What other truck maintenance services can you find at Ralarsa?
One of the key aspects of ensuring maximum safety when driving a truck is to provide good visibility of the vehicle to other road users. Inevitably, over time, a vehicle’s headlights become worn, progressively reducing the truck’s visibility on the road. For this reason, incorporating headlight polishing into your truck’s maintenance plan is essential. Get quality headlight polishing at Ralarsa workshops!
