Can a Scratched Windshield be Repaired?
Depending on the depth and length of the scratch most windshield repairs cannot be done correctly. If too much surface area of a windshield is removed the optics of the auto glass will become uneven and will result in eye strain for the driver or passenger. Buffing of auto glass isn’t a simple or quick solution and if too much heat buildup occurs the ending result is usually noticeable blemishes or even a stress crack on the windshield.
Most scratches occur on windshields when wipers blades become old or contaminated. The hardened rubber or small debris caught in the blades will quickly scratch any surface. The best way to prevent autoglass scratches are to change your vehicles wipers upon windshield replacement or to drop into your local Speedy Glass Dealer to get fitted with a new pair. All wiper blade sales come with free installation.
