Tell me about my Windscreen Replacement
The windscreen is a critical safety component of your vehicle, providing visibility, structural strength, and protection for passengers. If a chip or crack is too large to repair, or if it obstructs the driver’s line of sight, a full windscreen replacement is required. Replacing a damaged windscreen restores safety, clarity, and ensures your vehicle meets legal standards.
What is a windscreen replacement?
This service involves removing the damaged windscreen and installing a new one using strong automotive adhesives. The replacement process ensures a perfect seal to prevent leaks, reduce noise, and restore the vehicle’s structural integrity.
Why do you need a windscreen replacement?
A cracked or severely damaged windscreen can compromise driver visibility and the strength of your car’s structure in a collision. Replacing it ensures you can drive safely and avoid fines or failed roadworthiness inspections.
Common reasons for a windscreen replacement
- Large cracks that cannot be repaired
- Chips in the driver’s direct line of sight
- Multiple chips or cracks across the glass
- Damage to the glass edges, which weakens the windscreen
- Failed repair attempts or spreading cracks
What happens during a windscreen replacement?
A technician will:
- Remove wipers, trims, and the damaged windscreen
- Clean and prepare the frame for the new glass
- Apply high-strength adhesive to bond the windscreen
- Install the new windscreen and align it correctly
- Refit trims and wipers, and allow adhesive to cure
- Test for leaks, visibility, and proper installation
How much does a windscreen replacement cost?
Replacement costs typically range from $400–$900, depending on the vehicle make, model, and whether the windscreen includes features like rain sensors, heating elements, or driver-assist cameras. Insurance may cover part or all of the cost.
Is it unsafe to drive with a cracked windscreen?
Yes. A cracked windscreen reduces visibility, weakens your vehicle’s structure, and can shatter further in a collision. In many regions, it is also illegal to drive with significant windscreen damage. Replacement should be carried out promptly.
