Whether you need to repair or replace your windshield depends on one thing – on how much the extent of the damage on your windshield is.  Since you have mentioned that there is a crack on your windshield, it still depends on the type of crack that appears on your car. As you can see Tina, there are different forms of windshield carks – some can be repaired while some needs to be replaced.

For instance, starbursts or strarbreak is one type of crack that appears like a long crack that extends from the damage’s central point. Although the central point can be really small, you still have to take damages on your windshield seriously for starburst will continue to spread over time hence, you need to repair this type damage as soon as possible.

On the other hand, bulls-eye is characterized by style cracks that appears in circular shapes. In general, this type of windshield crack can be repaired however, this will never disappear completely. This crack occurs when an object such as stone or rock hits your vehicle’s windshield with a very powerful force.

Lastly, remember that if there are two separate cracks on your windshield, then you need to replace it the soonest possible time. But if the damage is minor, you can have it repaired.
