Windscreen chips soon become cracks

The natural vibration of your car in motion, as well as environmental elements means that windscreen chips will inevitably turn into large cracks. Your windscreen should be repaired as soon as possible to avoid this.  



Benefits of repairing your windscreen:

• Save time
• Save money by not having it replaced
• Maintain your car’s roadworthy certificate
• Repair is better for the environment than having to replace an entire windscreen

Our mobile NRMA AutoGlass service team will diagnose the damage no matter your location. If a replacement is necessary, we will organise a time and place for the service that is convenient to you.

How we repair your windscreen

NRMA AutoGlass use world class technology to repair windscreen damage up to 10cm long or the size of a $1 coin.   

Types of windscreen damage

Australian standards specify the maximum repairable damage size, which varies depending on the location and the equipment used to complete the repair.  

The windscreen is divided into 2 main areas:

Critical Vision Area (CVA)  Primary Vision Area (PVA)

Types of damage

Types of damage	Within CVA	Within PVA
Crack	25mm	100mm
Star	15mm	30mm
Horseshoe	10mm	25mm
Bullseye	10mm	20mm
Crater	2mm	5mm
Combination	As above for each type of damage.

If your windscreen chip exceeds the sizes above, NRMA AutoGlass will replace your windscreen at the location of your choice.
