When Does a Boulder Windshield Need Full Replacement?
Not every chip or crack requires replacement. But Boulder's extreme temperature swings, highway gravel, and canyon road debris can escalate damage quickly. Here are the signs it's time for a new windshield.
Crack longer than 6 inches
Once a crack exceeds 6 inches, repair resin can't bridge the gap reliably. Boulder's daily temperature shifts from mountain cool mornings to sunny afternoons accelerate crack growth rapidly.
Multiple chips or cracks
Three or more chips, or two or more cracks, compromise the structural integrity of the glass. Common for Boulder commuters who drive Highway 36 daily.
Damage at the windshield edge
Edge cracks weaken the bond between the glass and the vehicle frame. This is a structural safety issue -- the windshield contributes up to 60% of cabin structural integrity in a rollover.
Damage in the driver's direct line of sight
Even a repaired chip in your direct sightline can create glare and distortion. Colorado state safety inspections may flag this as a fail condition.
Previous repair has failed
If a past chip repair is cracking out or turning hazy, replacement is the only lasting solution. This happens more often with poor-quality resin or repairs done in extreme cold.
Widespread pitting from road treatments
Years of magnesium chloride spray and gravel on US-36 and CO-93 create hundreds of micro-pits that reduce visibility, especially at night or with oncoming headlights.

ADAS Calibration: Included With Every Replacement
If your vehicle was manufactured after 2017, it likely has Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) -- features like lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control. These systems use cameras and sensors mounted to your windshield that must be recalibrated after replacement.
On-Site Calibration
Our mobile units carry calibration equipment. No need to make a separate trip to a dealership.
Safety Critical
Skipping calibration means your lane keep assist, collision avoidance, and other safety features may not work correctly.
Insurance Covers It
ADAS calibration is part of a proper replacement. Your insurance covers calibration as part of the replacement claim.
Watch out: Some shops quote a low price for replacement but don't include ADAS calibration. Then they add $200-$400 after the glass is already installed. Always ask if calibration is included in the quoted price. Ours always is.
