Blue Chip FAQs

The types of damage may differ, yet the repair procedure remains consistent across the board. Both rock chip and crack damages are deemed eligible for repair if they meet the following conditions:

For rock chips and cracks, they must measure less than 14 inches in length from start to finish, with an impact point smaller than 3/8 inch.

If the damage occurs within the Driver’s Primary Viewing Area (DPVA), damage cannot exceed one inch in length from start to finish, with the impact point smaller than 3/16 inch.

IIt’s important to note that there is no way of telling when your chip will spread. However, there are a few tips to help prevent any spreading which can be read below:

To prevent exacerbating damage to your windshield, refrain from rolling up your side windows when parked directly in the sun. Allowing any built-up heat pressure to escape without exerting force on your windshield can help prevent the spread of damage.

For temporary protection, apply a piece of clear scotch tape over the affected area, ensuring to smooth it out to eliminate any air bubbles or gaps. This will aid in keeping the chip dry and safeguarded from contamination. Please refrain from adding anything else to the damage to ensure the best repair possible.

Be mindful of temperature fluctuations. During winter, avoid turning the defroster on high if damage remains unrepaired. Similarly, in summer, keep from turning the air conditioning on defrost.

Remember, damaged glass is prone to spreading when subjected to rapid shifts between temperature extremes.
