Windshield repair

Stop the crack before it takes the whole windshield

A chip the size of a dime can turn into a crack across the driver's view after one cold night. Repair it early and you keep the original glass, the original seal and the factory calibration.

Repair works when

Repair

The chip is smaller than a quarter, or the crack is under about six inches.
The damage is outside the driver's direct line of sight.
Only the outer layer of glass is broken.
The break is not touching the edge of the glass.
It happened recently and has not filled with dirt or water.
Replacement is safer when

Replace

The crack runs to the edge, where the glass carries the load.
There are three or more separate breaks.
The inner layer is cracked or the glass is punctured.
The damage sits in front of a camera or sensor.
You can catch it with a fingernail from the inside.
Go to replacement
The repair itself

Thirty minutes, four steps

01

Clean the break

Loose glass and moisture come out first. A wet chip will never hold resin.

02

Pull the air

The injector draws air out of the break so resin can reach every leg of the star.

03

Fill and cure

Resin goes in under pressure, then cures under ultraviolet light.

04

Polish flat

We shave the pit level with the glass so your wipers pass over it cleanly.

A good repair leaves a faint mark you can still see if you look for it. The point is strength and stopping the spread, not making the glass look new.

Most chip repairs cost you nothing

Virginia comprehensive policies usually cover chip repair with no deductible, and we bill the carrier directly.

Cost and insurance

Most repairs cost you nothing

Virginia comprehensive policies often cover chip repair with no deductible, because carriers would rather pay for resin than a windshield. We bill the claim directly. If you would rather not involve insurance, we charge a flat rate per chip and a lower price for each additional chip on the same visit.

Can you repair a crack that already ran across the glass?

No. Once a crack passes six inches or reaches the edge, the glass needs to come out.

Will the repair pass Virginia inspection?

A properly filled chip outside the wiper sweep in front of the driver passes. We will tell you before we start if yours will not.

Do you come to me for a chip?

Yes, chip repair is one of the easiest jobs to do in your driveway or an office parking lot.

Raz came today and fixed my window very quickly and efficiently. It looks better than ever! He has tons of experience, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs window repairs. Sunrise also had very reasonable prices compared to the other quotes I received. They came out quickly, did a great job, and provided excellent service. I highly recommend them!

The whole experience was wonderful. Very reasonably priced. They came to my house the same day I called. Everyone involved in the process was nice. Raz who did the install was professional, courteous, and kind. The glass is way clearer than what I had before, good quality. They even moved my inspection sticker for me. 10/10 would recommend.

Amir was AMAZING, not only did he come and get my car he went above and beyond in all the extras that I had neglected and brought my car better and cleaner than when he got it. He was patient in explaining everything that needed to be done and why! I checked many places and his price was also the best.

They replaced the sunroof on our Jeep Wagoneer S which is not a common vehicle at the moment. They got the glass in and did a seamless install; you can't even tell any work was done. I drove through a carwash to check for leaks and so far so good.
