Windshield Chips Vs. Cracks

Chips Vs. Cracks

 

What is the difference between a chip and a crack? They seem the same, right? They’re not. Let’s explain the difference.

Chips

 

While a chip is still considered structural damage to your windshield, they are usualy smaller than 1/2”. Chips generally damage the outer layer of glass on your windshield creating an air pocket. Chips are important to take care of promptly as they are the leading cause of cracks.

Cracks
