How to Repair Cracks and Chips in a Windshield

Fixing a small windshield crack or chip is an easy project that can save real money. Maybe you’ve heard the wince-inducing ping of a rock hitting your windshield the wrong way, or maybe you bought a used vehicle already knowing it had a cracked or chipped windshield. No matter the source, these damaged surfaces should be repaired. They can be distracting for drivers. If ignored, they can spread and widen, turning a simple repair into a complete windshield replacement. A professional windshield repair can run from $35 to $120 and leaves your schedule at the whims of the repair company. An alternative, DIY windshield repair kits, cost less than $15, can often be used more than once and give you the freedom to do the work at your leisure.
