<\/p>\n

Have you ever been driving calmly and, suddenly, a stone or other object hits your windshield? At first glance, you might dismiss it as just a small chip. However, if you leave it for too long, that small crack could spread until the glass breaks completely.<\/p>\n

In this article, we explain when you should consider car glass repair<\/strong><\/a> and why it\u2019s dangerous to drive with a cracked windshield. We\u2019ll also tell you how you can easily get this service done at Ralarsa so you can have peace of mind and contact us if it happens to you. Read on!<\/p>\n

Why is it important to repair the windshield?<\/h2>\n

Driving with a cracked windshield is a real safety hazard. Car glass is one of the most crucial safety components for the driver and passengers, as it prevents objects from entering the vehicle cabin and endangering lives. This is the main reason to repair the car glass \u2014 especially the windshield \u2014 which allows the driver to clearly see the road ahead.<\/p>\n

Repairing a car\u2019s glass is also more cost\u2011effective than replacing it. This is something to keep in mind before the damage worsens and you need a full replacement. It\u2019s also a less polluting process. That said, at Ralarsa we are also experts in glass replacement, so we can provide this service if necessary.<\/p>\n

When can we repair the glass?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not always possible to repair a windshield. Depending on the severity of the impact, replacement may be required. Here are some situations where car glass repair is possible:<\/p>\n

If the windshield chip is small \u2014 about the size of a 2\u2011euro coin \u2014 it can be repaired at our workshop.<\/p>\n

The depth of the impact should not exceed 5 mm, and there must be no damage to the glass laminate, as this would make repair very difficult.<\/p>\n

Cracks should be no longer than 50 mm or spread to surrounding areas. The chip must also be away from the driver\u2019s line of sight, as driving in those conditions would be unsafe.<\/p>\n

How do we repair a windshield chip?<\/h2>\n

If you have a mark on your windshield and need an urgent windshield repair, you should know that at a specialised workshop like Ralarsa the process is straightforward.<\/p>\n

You have the option of bringing your car to us or, if you prefer, we can travel to your location. We need roughly 30 minutes to repair your car glass. At the same time, we handle all the insurance company processes for you.<\/p>\n

Before the repair begins, we assess the damage and clean the glass using the appropriate products. We then complete the repair using vacuum and resin.<\/p>\n

Finally, we provide you with all the required documentation detailing how the repair was performed and the materials used, before returning the vehicle so you can continue your journey safely.<\/p>\n
