When assessing the damage to your windshield, particularly if a rock has cracked it, a thorough visual inspection is essential. At Bang Autoglass, we typically find that if a rock has caused a chip or crack smaller than six inches, the windshield can often be replaced. This is a common scenario with rock cracked windshields, where the damage does not necessarily extend through the entire windshield.

If a rock has resulted in a crack longer than six inches, Bang Autoglass strongly recommends a complete windshield replacement. Such extensive damage significantly compromises the windshield's structural integrity and requires a replacement to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its passengers.

Additionally, if there are multiple cracks or a particularly deep crack caused by a rock, replacement is usually the safer option. It's important to address a rock cracked windshield swiftly as the windshield contributes significantly to the vehicle’s structural strength, especially in accidents, and is crucial for the correct deployment of airbags.

At Bang Autoglass, the process for replacing a rock cracked windshield includes carefully removing the damaged windshield, cleaning the frame thoroughly, and installing a new windshield using a high-quality adhesive that must cure properly before the vehicle is driven again.

For owners of vehicles with a rock cracked windshield, getting a professional evaluation from Bang Autoglass is advisable. Our team of experts uses advanced tools and techniques to do a full replacement is necessary, ensuring your vehicle remains safe and compliant with traffic laws.
