As with all issues in the automotive world, safety is the most important concern. Though it’s generally not dangerous to drive with a broken windshield  for a short distance, it should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible. The windshield is engineered as a key component in the structural integrity of the vehicle, but glass is weakened by damage. If the car is involved in a collision, a broken windshield cannot provide the intended level of protection to the driver and passengers.

Windshields are made of two layers of glass and, if damage penetrates through to the plastic layer or the inner layer of glass, it can’t be repaired and will have to be replaced. Replacement is also the likely recommendation for a windshield with any type of damage on the interior layer of glass, even if the external 

layer is intact.

If a windshield has a crack that nears the frame, it’s likely that car glass technicians will recommend that it be replaced. This is because even small fissures close the edge or corner of the glass can worsen and spread quickly thanks to the vibrations of the car and added stress as it travels over bumps and dips in the road. Cracks located near the frame can also be a safety issue as they undermine the structural integrity of the glass.
