Why 7″–10″ Windshield Cracks Are the “Do Something Now” Zone

Once a crack grows past 6 inches, many shops and insurance call centers automatically lean toward replacement. But in Colorado Springs, rough roads and temperature swings mean cracks can reach 7″–10″ quickly — often while the glass is still repairable.

A medium-length crack is in a critical window. If you wait too long, vibration, heat, and cold can push it past the point where repair makes sense.

Most drivers delay at this stage because they:

  • Assume a crack this long “must” mean replacement
  • Have already been told “it can’t be repaired” by a national chain
  • Don’t want to risk ADAS recalibration or higher replacement costs
  • Are worried about what happens if the crack spreads

The good news: medium-length cracks are exactly where our advanced repair experience shines. In many cases, we can save a 7″–10″ crack and help you avoid replacement entirely.

Advanced Mobile Repair for Medium Cracks (7″–10″)

Bob’s Windshield Repair specializes in crack repair up to 14 inches long. That extra experience gives us more options for safely repairing medium-length cracks than most shops in town.

What Our Medium-Crack Repair Service Includes

  • On-site mobile repair at your home, office, or gym anywhere in our service area.
  • Advanced techniques tailored for cracks in the 7″–10″ range.
  • ADAS-friendly approach – keep your original windshield and avoid recalibration.
  • Clear guidance on whether repair or replacement is truly the better choice.
  • Lifetime workmanship guarantee on the completed repair.

How the Medium-Crack Repair Visit Works

  • We arrive, inspect the crack, and explain your options before any work begins.
  • If the crack is a good candidate, we stabilize the ends and inject resin along the full length.
  • The resin is cured with UV light to restore strength and stop further spreading.
  • You drive away with a stronger windshield and far lower risk of a full crack-out.

Some medium cracks can be more visible after repair than smaller cracks. We’ll explain what you can expect before we start so there are no surprises.

Why Bob’s Is Different for Medium-Crack Repairs

Most auto glass shops stop at 6″. We routinely repair cracks up to 14″ when it’s safe and makes sense — and we’re honest when it doesn’t.

How We Decide If a 7″–10″ Crack Can Be Repaired

Medium-length cracks require a more detailed inspection than short cracks. We walk through a clear checklist on every visit.

Step 1 – Confirm Crack Length and Location

We measure the entire crack and note whether it reaches the edge of the glass, crosses the driver’s primary viewing area, or intersects other damage.

Step 2 – Evaluate Stress at the Ends

We look closely at both ends of the crack for signs of branching, star-burst patterns, or severe stress that could make the crack unstable during repair.

Step 3 – Check for Contamination and Age

The older the crack, the more likely it is to have dirt or moisture trapped inside. Repairs can still be successful, but cosmetic results may be more modest on older damage.

Step 4 – Assess Edge Cracks and Structural Integrity

If the crack reaches the edge or runs along it, we carefully test how the glass responds. Our long-crack experience sometimes lets us safely repair cracks others have turned away.

Step 5 – Gentle Pressure and Stability Testing

We apply controlled pressure to see how the crack behaves. If the glass reacts unpredictably, we may recommend replacement instead of repair.

Step 6 – Clear Recommendation and Expectations

We’ll explain whether the crack is a good candidate for repair, what the finished repair will likely look like, and how it changes the risk of future spreading.

If we do not recommend repair, you owe nothing for the evaluation.

Medium Cracks and Colorado Springs Conditions

By the time a crack reaches 7″–10″ in Colorado Springs, it has already lived through some stress:

  • Temperature swings between cold nights and sunny afternoons
  • Vibration from I-25, Powers, Woodmen, and city streets
  • Previous rock impacts or nicks near the main crack

We routinely see medium cracks on vehicles parked outside in Northgate and Briargate neighborhoods, commuters along Powers and Academy, and mountain drivers coming in from Monument and Black Forest. Local experience helps us understand how your crack got here — and how to keep it from getting worse.

Medium Crack Repair FAQs

Can a 7″–10″ crack really be repaired?

In many cases, yes. Medium-length cracks are exactly where our advanced crack-repair experience is most useful. We can’t promise every crack can be saved, but we can usually tell you very quickly which side of the line you’re on.

Will the crack still be visible after the repair?

Yes. With medium-length cracks, the goal is to restore strength and prevent further spreading, not to make the crack vanish. You should expect the line to soften and become less noticeable, but not disappear.

Is it safe to drive with a medium-length crack?

Many people drive with medium cracks, but the risk of the crack spreading or “cracking out” increases as the crack grows. In Colorado Springs conditions, waiting too long often means losing the option to repair.

Will this affect my ADAS cameras or sensors?

A repair does not change the position of your cameras or sensors because the original windshield stays in place. That means no recalibration is needed after a successful repair.

Why did another shop say my crack can’t be repaired?

Many national chains stop at 6″ as a hard rule and focus more heavily on replacement. Because we repair cracks up to 14″ when it’s safe, our guidelines are more flexible — and often give you another option.

Can you still repair the crack in cold weather?

Usually yes, as long as temperatures are above about 50°F or we can do the repair in your garage. For medium cracks, we’re especially careful to choose conditions that give the best chance of a stable repair.

Have a 7″–10″ Crack? Don’t Assume You Need a New Windshield.

A quick, honest evaluation can tell you whether your crack is still repairable — and if it is, a mobile repair can save your windshield and protect your ADAS system. There’s no charge if we can’t safely repair it.
