No matter how small a chip in a windscreen is – it needs repairing. This is because any imperfection is a weakness in the windscreens surface.
According to Autoglass, the windscreen provides 30% of a car’s structural strength. As a lot of force goes through it, particularly over our notoriously rough roads, a chip can develop into a crack at any point. Whilst chips can be repaired, cracks can’t, so it’s potentially a lot cheaper to have windscreen damage assessed and fixed promptly before it deteriorates.
If you purchased our Darwin Bronze policy, damage to glass is excluded from cover.
For all other policies please contact our approved repairer Autoglass on 0800 328 9150 or you can log a claim online.
