Once the technician completes the job, they will conduct a final inspection to ensure the windshield is installed correctly and that any recalibrated sensors are functioning properly. You’ll also be provided with information about the warranty on the replacement or repair. The ability to repair a windshield is largely dependent on the location and severity of the damage. If your windshield has chips (under 1 inch) that are not in the driver's line of sight, it can likely be repaired by a professional. However, if the chip is over an inch long or in a tough location, you may need windshield replacement. Additionally, some time is required for the glass adhesive to cure and dry before you can drive your vehicle.
