A windshield chip can present several problems including:
No matter what type of chip or ding your windshield or side windows have sustained, it’s important to have the situation examined by a specialist.
When any problems are caught early, technicians can do a quick windshield chip repair without the whole windshield requiring replacement.
Common types of windshield chips include:
PIT | This is a particularly deep kind of windshield chip where a large portion of the glass has been removed by an impact. |
DINGS | This is a less severe form of damage, also known as a windshield chip. |
STONE BREAK | This is a break that is caused by a stone or road debris, rather than stress. |
BULL’S EYE or SPIDER WEB | In such instances, the windshield cracks around the point of impact (such as a pit or chip) |
COMBINATION BREAKS | A combination break is a chip combined with a windshield crack. |
