Windscreens are a fundamental part of any type of vehicle since they have a protective function against any type of damage that may occur while driving. They not only serve to protect against the weather but also protect the driver and their passengers from possible impacts on the road.
At Ralarsa, as a truck windscreen workshop, we solve any type of damage to the glass. If your truck windscreen has a crack, we take care of your vehicle. Thanks to our home service, we come to the yard where you are. If you want to know more about how to fix a broken truck windscreen, we will tell you in this article.
Truck windscreen
Truck windscreens are a fundamental part of the vehicle as they offer a wide field of vision to not lose sight of any incident that may occur on the road. In addition, they protect the driver and their passengers against the sun’s rays but, above all, guarantee the necessary safety against any unforeseen event during driving.
Truck glass, as well as that of other vehicles, provides the necessary rigidity for holding the roof, thus offering up to almost 30% of the total rigidity of the vehicle. Likewise, if we want to guarantee the wide field of vision we mentioned earlier, it should be noted that it is important to perform optimal daily maintenance and cleaning.
If your truck windscreen has any damage or break, our specialists will evaluate it and decide whether it is possible to repair the damage or, if not, if replacement is necessary. If you want to fix a broken windscreen but are not sure if it is possible, in this article we tell you about the most frequent types of breakage and in which cases it is possible to repair or replace.
When to fix a broken windscreen?
Depending on the type of damage that occurs in the truck windscreen, it will influence whether it can be repaired or if it must be replaced. Below we explain the most common ones:
Bull’s-eye. This is the most common break and is caused by the impact of small objects like stones on the glass. This break has a crater shape of about 1 to 2 cm in size. In general, in this type of break there is usually no risk of the glass cracking further, so it is possible to carry out a repair in the windscreen workshop.
Bull’s-eye with micro cracks: This is a type of break very similar to the previous one but with cracks around the impact, usually caused by a strong hit. In this case, there may be a risk of glass breakage, so it will be necessary to go to the Ralarsa workshop as soon as possible.
Break with cracks: In this type of break, the entire surface is damaged and with cracks that spread over time due to different causes such as sudden temperature changes or potholes in the road. In this case, it is usually not possible to repair it, so truck windscreen replacement will be necessary.
Marks on the glass: These are usually small wear marks that appear on the truck windscreen surface. Although they generally do not pose a risk, it is important to observe them in order to control them and prevent them from leading to greater damage.
