First, assess the extent of the cracks before filing a windshield damage claim. Any crack on the glass over six inches long typically needs a complete windshield replacement. In contrast, smaller cracks or chips can be repaired by a car glass professional without removing the windshield completely without any delays.
Seek help from your insurance provider if you’re unsure whether the windshield needs to be replaced or not. Avoid any delays to prevent any further damage.
Steps to file a windshield damage claim:
Take pictures of the damage and measure the same to determine whether a simple repair is sufficient.
File a claim
Provide the photos of the damage to your insurance claims adjuster.
Choose a glass and windshield expert from the available options given by your insurance company to get the damage repaired.
To determine if windshield damage is included in your auto insurance plan, speak to your insurance provider. They can help to ensure that you are adequately protected against all forms of windshield damage.
