Damaged windshields often can be repaired, rather than replaced, under your insurance policy. However, specific criteria must be met in order to qualify for windshield repair service.
In general, smaller chips, such as a star or bullseye chip, can be repaired. Chips or cracks longer than 6 inches generally require the windshield to be replaced.
No deductible applies for windshield repairs completed by a glass shop within Progressive's network, provided you have Comprehensive coverage and your glass claim is covered.
Should my windshield be repaired or replaced?
If you answer "yes" to any of the questions below, your windshield may be a good candidate for repair:
- Is your windshield damage less than 6" long (about the length of a dollar bill)?
- Does the damage to your windshield appear similar to the one star crack or bullseye crack below?
