Can a Cracked Windshield Be Repaired?
In many cases, yes. Windshield cracks can often be repaired if they are addressed early and have not spread too far or reached a condition that prevents proper bonding.
There is an industry myth that edge cracks are automatically unrepairable. This is untrue, and many edge cracks can still be repaired depending on their condition. Learn why edge cracks are not automatically unrepairable.
The sooner you take care of a crack, the better your chances of avoiding a full windshield replacement. Colorado's summer heat and temperature swings can place additional stress on damaged glass. Learn what Colorado drivers should know about summer weather and windshield damage.
If the damage is still a small impact point rather than a true crack, our windshield chip repair page may be the better place to start.
If you’re unsure, you can also read a more detailed explanation here: Can a cracked windshield be repaired?. If your concern is safety rather than repairability, see our guide on whether it is safe to drive with a cracked windshield.
Short Cracks (Typically Under 6 Inches)
Short cracks are usually the most straightforward type of crack repair, especially when they are still clean, dry, and caught early.
They are typically quicker to repair than longer cracks and are often easier to stabilize before the damage spreads.
Repair usually will not make the crack disappear completely. A line, shadow, or blemish may remain, but the goal is to stabilize the damage and keep the windshield serviceable when repair makes sense.

Long Cracks (Over 6 Inches)
Many drivers are told that a windshield crack longer than 6 inches automatically means replacement. That is not always true.
Bob’s Windshield Repair specializes in mobile windshield crack repair up to 14 inches in many cases. A longer crack needs to be evaluated carefully, but length alone is not always the deciding factor.
Repairability also depends on the crack’s location, whether it interferes with ADAS sensors, how contaminated the damage is, whether it affects driver visibility, and how much stress is already in the glass.
If the crack looks like a good repair candidate, we’ll explain what repair can reasonably do before starting. If it does not look repairable, there is no charge.

- Lower cost compared to full replacement
- Preserves the original factory seal
- Avoids potential ADAS recalibration issues

Can a windshield crack up to 14 inches be repaired?
In many cases, yes. Bob’s Windshield Repair evaluates windshield cracks up to 14 inches for repair, depending on the crack’s location, condition, contamination, visibility concerns, ADAS sensor areas, and stress already in the glass.
Not every long crack is repairable, but length alone is not always the deciding factor. If the crack does not look like a good repair candidate, we’ll tell you before starting the work.

No. The repair strengthens the glass and helps stop the crack from spreading, but a faint line will usually remain. The goal is to stabilize the damage and extend the life of your windshield.

Schedule Windshield Crack Repair
If you have a cracked windshield, the best time to repair it is before it spreads further. Heat, sunlight, and rapid temperature changes can accelerate crack growth.
