<\/p>\n

When we talk about vehicle maintenance, what usually comes to mind first is the engine, the wheels, etc. However, we tend to think about the car\u2019s glass only when we need to repair it after a windshield impact and a subsequent fracture.<\/p>\n

Considering that they are an essential element for safe driving, if this happens we should visit a glass workshop as soon as possible. At Ralarsa, we make our centres available to you so you can choose the one that is most convenient and closest to you. Book your appointment through the form on our website \u2014 we\u2019ll be happy to help you!<\/p>\n

Safety and comfort at the wheel<\/h2>\n

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, glass often takes a backseat when it comes to car maintenance. However, its importance is unquestionable, as it allows us to have a wide and clear view of the road and offers the protection we need from external elements.<\/p>\n

So, when is the ideal time to replace a car window<\/strong><\/a>? This may be the most relevant question to answer. A well\u2011maintained vehicle will not necessarily need a glass replacement during its service life. However, at the slightest windshield impact we must be alert, because what initially appears to be a small, insignificant crack can turn into a larger, irreparable one. This would force us to visit a glass workshop for a replacement.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, as long as the impact does not exceed the size of a two\u2011euro coin \u2014approximately 50 millimetres in diameter\u2014 and is outside the driver\u2019s field of vision, it can be repaired. In order to determine whether it is necessary to repair or replace the car window, the workshop\u2019s professional team will need to assess the condition of the affected glass.<\/p>\n

To go into more detail, let\u2019s look at the most common types of damage a car can suffer. The first is a windshield impact. If we regularly drive on roads and motorways, it\u2019s only a matter of time before we experience the impact of stones thrown up by a truck, which can fracture the glass.<\/p>\n

If the glass fractures, the result is a cracked window. Most likely, this crack will grow until it completely breaks the glass \u2013 unless action is taken quickly. Irregularities in the road surface combined with the speed of the car will weaken the glass even more.<\/p>\n

Act on the slightest damage \u2014 with Ralarsa<\/h2>\n

From our glass workshop, we stress that at the slightest issue with a window, it\u2019s best for our technical team to inspect it to determine the proper course of action. Otherwise, what may initially seem insignificant could end up becoming something difficult to fix.<\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier: if a crack does not exceed 16 millimetres in diameter or the impact is smaller than a two\u2011euro coin, it can be repaired \u2014 provided it is not in the driver\u2019s direct field of vision. On the other hand, if the damage is greater than 50 millimetres or the diameter of a two\u2011euro coin, if there are several impacts in the same crack, or if it is less than six centimetres from the edges, the most common solution is replacement.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that at Ralarsa we offer a range of services that stand out for their sustainability. Therefore, whenever possible, we will opt for repair rather than replacement<\/strong><\/a>. In addition, with us, you have the option to replace your car window at home if you have no way of travelling to one of our more than 250 workshops across the country. Book your appointment now on our website \u2014 we look forward to getting your vehicle into top condition!<\/p>\n
