Signs You Need Windshield Chip Repair
Don't ignore those cracks and chips! Early detection and repair can save you from more significant windshield damage. Here are some key indicators that your windshield needs attention:
Visible Cracks or Chips
If you find chips or cracks in your windshield, even if they are so small, you should get them repaired promptly.
Spreading Cracks
If a chip is about to crack or the crack starts spreading across the windshield, immediately repair the crack to prevent a full replacement.
Obstructed View
Chips can be individually dangerous if they are located within the driver's line of sight, as they might distort your view of the road.
Recent Impact
It's important to inspect for damages after any significant impact like a rock hitting your windshield, even if it looks small. Small chips can be dangerous over time, especially with some exposure to the elements.
Hazing or Blurring
If you notice a hazy or blurred area around the chip, it could indicate that the damage is starting to affect the windshield's structural integrity.
Stress Cracks
Look for small, spiderweb-like cracks radiating outward from the chip. These stress cracks can weaken the windshield and increase the risk of a larger crack.

Common Causes of Windshield Chips in Calgary
Understanding the factors that contribute to windshield chips can help you take preventative measures. Here are some of the most common causes:
- Loose gravel and debris: Rocks, gravel, and other debris kicked up by other vehicles are a primary cause of windshield chips. These can strike your windshield with significant force, especially at high speeds.
- Extreme temperature fluctuations: Sudden changes in temperature, such as using hot water to defrost a cold windshield, can cause the glass to expand or contract rapidly, leading to chips.
- High-speed driving: The faster you're driving, the greater the force of impact when debris hits your windshield, increasing the likelihood of a chip.
- Poor road conditions: Uneven roads, potholes, and construction areas can increase the risk of encountering loose debris that can damage your windshield.
- Weather conditions: Hailstorms and other severe weather can cause chips, especially if your vehicle is exposed to the elements without protection.
- Vehicle maintenance: Neglecting regular vehicle maintenance, such as windshield wiper replacement, can contribute to windshield damage.
