You surely know that driving with a damaged windscreen is illegal and can result in a fine by the police or even cause your car to fail its MOT test, so every crack or minor damage to the windscreen should be taken seriously.

windscreen replacement in London
If the damage to your car windscreen is severe and the cracks cannot be repaired, the glass must be replaced to ensure the safety of passengers and others. Serious damage to the windscreen, such as deep and extensive cracks, reduces the driver’s visibility when exposed to direct sunlight and also weakens the strength and durability of the glass. If your car windscreen has been seriously damaged and needs replacement, make sure to replace it as soon as possible to avoid your car being fined or seized. ProCarGlass provides mobile windscreen replacement services at your desired location.
windscreen replacement or windscreen repair
It often happens that your car windscreen is damaged, but you’re not sure whether it needs to be replaced or can be repaired. If the cracks or scratches on your glass are superficial and less than 15 cm, and the crack is on the outer layer of the glass without reaching the inner layer, and chips are minor, your windscreen only requires repair. However, if the cracks are deep, longer than 15 cm, or obstruct the driver’s view, the glass must be replaced. If you are still unsure whether repair or replacement is needed, contact the ProCarGlass experts for guidance.

1. How do I know if my windshield needs to be replaced or just repaired?
Small chips (under a quarter in size) or short cracks (under 3 inches) can usually be repaired. However, if the damage is in the driver’s line of sight, or the crack is longer than a few inches, replacement is often the safer and legal option.
2. Is it safe to drive immediately after a windshield replacement?
No. Most experts recommend waiting at least 60 minutes after replacement before driving, to allow the adhesive to properly cure. This ensures your safety in case of sudden stops or accidents.
3. Will my insurance cover the cost of windshield replacement?
In many cases, yes. If you have comprehensive coverage, your insurance may fully or partially cover the cost. Some policies even waive the deductible for glass replacement. It’s best to check with your provider before scheduling the service.
4. How long does it take to replace a windshield?
The actual replacement process typically takes about 60–90 minutes. However, you’ll also need to factor in additional curing time (usually 1–2 hours), depending on the adhesive used and weather conditions.
5. Can I get my windshield replaced at home or work?
Absolutely. Many auto glass services offer mobile replacement, meaning a technician can come to your location. It’s a convenient option if you can’t make it to the shop or need the job done quickly.
