FAQ's About Windscreen Glass Replacement
In some cases, yes, a windscreen crack can be repaired instead of replaced. This will depend on the size and location of the crack. Generally, cracks smaller than a credit card and not located in the driver's line of sight can be repaired. However, larger cracks, those located in the driver's line of sight, or cracks that are too close to the edge of the windscreen may require a full replacement. It's best to consult with a professional to determine whether a repair or replacement is necessary.
The time it takes to replace a windscreen can vary depending on several factors, such as the make and model of the car and the availability of the replacement glass. Typically, the process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours. The replacement process involves removing the old windscreen, preparing the surface for the new one, and installing the replacement glass. It's important to let the adhesive used to secure the new windscreen cure for a certain amount of time, which can take up to several hours, before driving the car.
In New Zealand, most comprehensive car insurance policies include windscreen replacement as a standard benefit. However, you should check your policy documents to confirm whether windscreen replacement is covered and what the excess, or deductible, is for this benefit. If you are not sure, you can contact your insurance provider to ask about the specifics of your policy.
The cost of windscreen replacement in New Zealand can vary depending on several factors, such as the make and model of the car and the type of windscreen required. In most cases, you'll be covered by your insurance company for free glass repairs and replacements. However, the cost can range from NZD $200 to NZD $600 or more. If your insurance policy covers the cost of windscreen replacement, you may only need to pay the excess amount, which can be as low as NZD $0. It's important to get a quote from a reputable auto glass company to determine the exact cost of replacement for your particular vehicle.
