Learn How Mobile Clarity Group Tackles Chips Before They Turn Into Larger Cracks
Promptly addressing a small chip can help avoid the necessity for a complete windshield replacement in the future, saving you both time and money.
Star Break Car Windshield Crack Repair
A "Star Break" on a car windshield features damage that spreads from a central point of impact, forming a star-like pattern. This kind of crack typically happens when a small, hard object impacts the glass forcefully enough to create a chip, from which multiple cracks then branch out. These cracks can stretch several inches across the windshield, resembling the rays of a star emanating from the center. The intricate pattern of a Star Break can undermine the windshield's structural integrity more than simpler types of cracks, emphasizing the need for prompt and expert repair to halt further damage and maintain safety.
Combo Break Car Windshield Crack Repair
A "Combo Break" on a car windshield is a sophisticated type of damage that incorporates elements of various break types, such as chips, stars, and bullseyes. This kind of crack typically arises from an impact forceful enough to create multiple cracking patterns at once. A Combo Break is characterized by a central impact point from which cracks spread outward, along with concentric circles that might intersect or overlap with these radial cracks. The complex nature of this damage makes its repair challenging, affecting both the windshield's appearance and its structural integrity. Immediate professional evaluation and repair are essential to effectively handle the damage and ensure vehicle safety.
Half Moon Windshield Crack Repair
A "Half Moon" crack in auto glass is characterized by its distinctive semi-circular shape, resembling the crescent phase of the moon. This type of crack typically forms when an impact is strong enough to cause a partial circular break, but not so strong as to create a full circular crack. The crack's rounded side is generally smooth, while the opposing edge might show signs of branching or jaggedness. Given its nature, a Half Moon crack compromises the integrity of the windshield, making timely repair essential to prevent further damage and to maintain the windshield?s structural strength and safety.
Bullseye Car Windshield Crack Repair
A "Bullseye" crack in auto glass is recognizable by its distinctive circular shape, which mimics an archery target. This kind of crack forms when a small object, such as a stone, strikes the windshield, resulting in a central impact point with concentric circles around it. The damage usually appears as a small hole with surrounding rings, weakening the glass near the impact area. Because this type of damage is localized, bullseye cracks can generally be repaired effectively if they are dealt with promptly. Addressing these cracks quickly helps prevent them from spreading and helps maintain the structural integrity of the windshield.
