Some facts about windshields and auto glass:

Do you have a cracked windshield? If so you may benefit from either windshield repair or windshield replacement. A broken windshield not only impairs your vision while driving; it may negatively affect your vehicleís restraint and safety features.

When rocks from the road strike a windshield, they may create a small break in the glass. This damage may look like a star or a bullseye or a combination of both. The good news is that this type of damage is easily repairable. At Cracks & Racks weíve successfully repaired thousands of windshields by forcefully injecting a clear, acrylic resin into the glass. The resin displaces air that is in the break, and when cured in ultraviolet lights, the resin bonds to the glass and prevents further cracking, restoring the integrity of the glass. Depending on the severity of the original damage, our technicians are able to restore most of the glassí original clarity.

Did you know that your windshield is the primary restraint feature in your vehicle? Minor damage that is left unrepaired will eventually crack across the entire length of the windshield, compromising your vehicleís restraint and safety features. When itís time for a windshield replacement, choose a glass shop that uses only OEM (original equipment manufacturer) glass and materials. More importantly, choose a shop that performs proper windshield installation. In terms of safety, the methods and materials used to replace todayís windshields are equally important as not having a cracked or broken windshield.

Never before has safe windshield installation played such an important role in the Auto Glass Industry than it does today. Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards (AGRSS) were developed to raise the bar on the standards for windshield replacement in an already fragmented industry.

Cracks & Racks is proud to be among the first 100 shops in the United States to register with the AGRSS council and commit to providing professional autoglass repair and replacement services. Our technicians are industry certified professionals with extensive training and certification from 3M and the National Glass Associationís Auto Glass Technician Certification Program.
