How We Restore Windshields with Cracks Up to 14 Inches

Large cracks in your windshield can obstruct your view, weaken your vehicle’s structural integrity, and affect proper airbag deployment. That’s why it’s so important to get them taken care of promptly. However, these repairs must be handled by a certified professional. Improper repair can lead to irreparable windshield damage, which would then require a replacement. Many auto glass technicians will not repair cracks that are too long or located in inconvenient spots, such as the edge of your windshield.


911 Windshield Repair & Replacement has mastered windshield repair techniques that allow us to safely resolve large cracks up to 14 inches long! We have over 21 years of experience and have completed 250,000 repairs and counting, and our reliable reputation has earned us many 5-star reviews. Our technicians focus on keeping repairs safe, effective, and affordable for our customers.


Large Windshield Cracks Require Extensive Expertise


Large cracks in your windshield are at greater risk of spreading. This can be a safety concern and can result in a costly replacement. Temperature changes and even the vibrations from your tires on the road can cause large cracks to spread further across the windshield. To repair this type of damage, precise pressure control is necessary.


The resin must also penetrate the crack deep enough to restore complete strength and clarity, which is nearly impossible without the proper knowledge and experience. Some auto glass shops are not equipped to handle these large-crack repairs due to a lack of specialized tools and advanced techniques. Fortunately, 911 Windshield Repair & Replacement has the expertise and equipment to safely repair significant windshield cracks.


How We Repair Significant Windshield Cracks


Our process starts with a careful inspection. Our certified technicians will examine your windshield to determine whether repair is safe. In many cases, we can complete your repair quickly without needing to schedule a replacement. If we are able to move forward with the repair, we use advanced resin injection techniques and specialized tools to fill the entire crack.


With specialized curing equipment and stabilization methods to prevent spreading, your windshield will soon be restored to peak condition. Our customers often report that their repairs are seamless, restoring complete clarity and durability that lasts for years.

"911 Windshield was able to repair my windshield, which cracked on the edge. All the other vendors I spoke to told me it wasn't doable! Great service and expertise with reasonable pricing. If you need your windshield repaired, look no further."


– Melvina T.


"I’ve had J.D. at 911 Windshield repair my windshield twice in the past year, and both services were excellent! The first repair is still holding up perfectly a year later. In addition, the newest chip is almost invisible now that he fixed it. While I hope I don’t get any more chips soon, I can rest easy knowing they’ll be repaired by a true professional."


– Nick G.


"One of the best windshield repair experiences. I had a 9-inch crack on my Grand Highlander windshield, and a few other shops said it could not be fixed and that I had to replace the windshield, but these guys came and fixed it and saved me a lot of money."


– Zia Z.


"I was referred to J.D. by my co-worker. I had a quarter-sized crack on the windshield. He ended up fixing it in about 10 minutes. I can't even see the damage anymore. And thankfully, Farmers Insurance covered it at no cost to me. Thanks, J.D., for your help."

The Benefits of Professional Windshield Repair


When it comes to windshield repair, professional service is the best option. DIY kits can be inexpensive and seem simple to use, but they often do not match the quality of professional materials, and complex repairs can take years of experience to perfect. Windshield repair also has advantages over replacement. It is often a cheaper option and can restore your visibility and your windshield’s structural integrity effectively. The service is usually faster, and it maintains the factory seal on your windshield if it’s never been replaced before. Windshield repairs are also often covered by insurance providers, and some companies will even waive your deductible.
