Windshield Repair and Replacement in Toronto, ON

Not only is a cracked or chipped windshield an eyesore, it can also be an unexpected source of danger for your vehicle. Your Lexus’ windshield helps maintain your vehicle’s structural integrity, while also protecting you from whatever lies ahead of you on the road. Leaving a crack or chip unattended can cause it to get worse, and the longer you leave it, the harder it will be to fill. Read on with the experts here at Lexus Downtown as we explore when you should look at repairing your windshield, versus when it may need a replacement.

Repairs

If you ever notice a chip or crack on your windshield, you should get it looked at as soon as possible. If they get ignored, they become harder to repair as they begin to fill with dust and dirt from the road. Worse, any unattended damage to the windshield can get worse, especially when Canadian temperature shifts stress the glass, causing a relatively minor crack or chip to spiderweb. Filling a small crack or chip is inexpensive, and usually takes under an hour.

Replacements

A chip that penetrates the glass, a crack larger than 3”, or a crack within 4” of the edge of the glass may have compromised the integrity of the windshield, and will likely result in a total replacement. Likewise. If your Lexus’ windshield has a crack directly in your line of sight, it can cause vision issues as the crack reflects sunlight glare up into your eyes. In this case, the service team would also recommend a total windshield replacement.
