Why You Shouldn’t Delay Fixing That Cracked Windshield
At Matthews Tire, we’re committed to more than just your vehicle, we’re here to help keep you safe. A small crack in your windshield may not seem urgent, but it can quickly lead to bigger problems. Here’s why prompt attention matters:
- Reduced Visibility: Cracks and chips can distort your view by scattering sunlight or holding moisture, especially in rain, snow or low-light conditions.
- Increased Risk of Breakage: Damaged glass is more likely to spread or shatter from bumps in the road, temperature swings or flying debris.
- Less Crash Protection: Your windshield is part of your car’s structural safety system. Damage can weaken its ability to support the frame or ensure proper airbag deployment.
- Legal Concerns in Wisconsin: Driving with major windshield damage could lead to citations, or even a failed inspection if the damage is in your line of sight.
Whether you’re heading down Main Street or cruising through the countryside near Waupaca, don’t take chances. Our technicians will assess your windshield and guide you to the safest, most cost-effective solution.

Windshield Replacement in Waupaca, WI
Should You Repair the Damage or Replace the Whole Windshield?
Not every crack means you need a new windshield, but some do. If you’re unsure, here are three common signs that point to replacement over repair:
- Cracks Longer Than 6 Inches: Larger cracks often can’t be repaired safely, especially if they’re near the edges or in high-stress areas of the glass.
- Multiple Impact Points: When your windshield has several chips or cracks, its structural integrity is already compromised. Replacement is often the safer call.
- Damage in the Driver’s View: Chips in your direct line of sight can distort vision and pose a serious risk, even if the damage appears small.
Unsure what to do? Our Waupaca technicians will inspect the glass, explain your options and help you make the right decision, for both safety and cost.
