Ford windshields are high-quality but like other windshields if a crack or chip hasn’t spread then a repair can be completed. A thin crack in your Ford F-150 windshield can be repaired in most cases if the crack is less than a dollar bill in length. A rock chip in your windshield can also be repaired if the chip is smaller than a quarter in diameter. If you are unsure, contact The Auto Glass Experts so we can determine if it is safe to repair versus replace the windshield.
