Chip check

Resin minutes or a new windshield

A chip in the driver's view larger than a quarter (0.955 inches) is a replacement set in urethane. Smaller than that, or a modest break off to the side, is resin on the outer lite.

A US quarter is 0.955 inches across. Larger than that in the driver's view is a replacement.

75 minutes on the vehicle, then 30 to 60 minutes of urethane safe drive-away

At 1.25 in, this chip is larger than a quarter (0.955 in) and it sits in the driver's view. The job is a full glass replacement set in urethane. Resin would leave a lens where the driver looks.

A crack that already reaches the edge of the glass is a replacement even when the pit is small. This check uses diameter and the driver's view.
