Windscreen Repair & Windscreen Replacement in Forster

Leaks can happen if the seal between your windscreen and car body is damaged or broken. This can occur over time as the car body moves and flexes, or if you hit a pothole or another object. A leak can also occur if the drain holes in the bottom of your windscreen are blocked, leaving water with nowhere to go but inside the car.

It’s important to schedule a repair or replacement as soon as possible as the laminated glass in your windscreen provides protection for the occupants of your vehicle during an accident. If the windscreen is chipped or cracked, its strength is compromised, putting you at risk. 

This will depend on the environment the car is driven in, the quality of the windscreen and the age of the car. As a rule, it’s a good idea to replace an old car's windscreen every five to seven years.

Old chips and cracks can be repaired most of the time, although the repair may not be as good as if it were completed when the chip or crack was new, as water and dirt will have penetrated the area over time.
