CARGLASS REPLACEMENT
What should be done after a stone chip?
If grit is swirled up and a stone chip damages the windshield or side window, a car garage should be visited promptly so that the damage can be repaired. Our auto mechanics will do this quickly and efficiently using special resin and UV light. Vehicle owners who do not have the windshield replaced or repaired risk spreading the crack. In the worst case, the windshield cracks completely.
When does the windshield need to be replaced?
The windshield must be replaced when the stone chip is too large (larger than a two-franc piece), when the windshield has a crack, and when the damage is on the edge of the windshield. In addition, the windshield must be replaced if the resin does not spread completely during the repair, if the heating wires break (in the case of a heated windshield) or if the graphics become distorted (in the case of a windshield with a head-up display).
When does the insurance pay?
The vehicle owner can report the damage to the insurance company and will be reimbursed for most of the costs. However, there is usually a deductible. Repair kits for stone chips are an emergency solution and should only be used if there is an acute risk of breakage and no auto repair shop is nearby. Auto Müller will put you in touch with your insurance company.
