One of the large auto glass repair companies advertise windshield repair up to the size of a dollar bill. To clarify what they mean: A single line crack up to the length of a dollar bill. At Glas Tek we can do single line crack up to 14 inches in length using the ONLY patented resin on the market.

Yes! during the coldest winter days Glas Tek can still do high quality windshield repairs. First of all we keep our windshield repair chemicals warm by keeping them in the front of our vehicle by the heater. This keeps the viscosity perfect. Also you can always simulate a warmer day by turning the defrost on low heat, carefully monitoring it or using a halogen heat lamp on a low setting will also take the chill off the windshield. And finally if the sun is out you can pull the vehicle out in the sun. Glass warms up quickly on sunny days. The best thing a customer can do when they have a windshield repair scheduled is to have the vehicle facing opposite the wind. Windy days will definitely lower glass temperatures. The best case scenario is if covered parking is available (ie. garage/carport).

When there is a break in laminated auto glass, an air gap appears in the glass. There are surfaces inside the gap, on either side. Also, there may be crushed glass inside the break, depending on what kind of break it is. For instance, an impact break is much more likely to have crushed glass in it than a crack.

The answer is yes, if a windshield cracks from the opposite side of impact it should be replaced the reason for this is the damage has penetrated both layers of glass.
