Chips & Cracks
You're driving on the freeway soaking in the breathtaking landscape when suddenly an unidentified rock comes flying up from the road and lands on your windshield. You feel your heart sink when you see a quarter-sized crack in the upper right corner. Fortunately, the majority of cracked and chipped front glass can be repaired, and repairs are considerably cheaper than replacing the entire thing.
The first step in repairing these small areas of damage is removing the excess resin from the surface of the glass. A UV-curable, clear glass resin is injected into the damaged layer by using an injector tool. The tool cycles between vacuum and pressure. After the resin has been infused, it is then dried or hardened with the help of a UV light. This process restores both the structure and appearance of the glass.
The next step is to determine height and extent of the damage. The smallest surface pits do not penetrate the middle layer and can be left unattended however most pits will need to be repaired since they are susceptible to forming an afloater crack. A floater is a tiny crack that can occur anyplace on the windshield. It can spread quickly. It is a good idea to get these repaired as soon as you notice them.
Weld & Grind Spatter
Sparks from grinding and welding can cause serious damage to glass surfaces. They are very hot and impact the surface of the glass with a great deal of force. This causes the metal particles to stick to the glass surface, sometimes up to 0.7 or 0.8 millimeters deep. This could render the glass unusable and require replacement.
Preventive measures can minimize the damage caused by grinding and welding. Covering the area of work with cardboard or tape can be an effective method of protecting the work surface. It also stops dust from being blown on the glass. Many contractors wear masks to shield themselves from dust when grinding or welding near to a surface.

Cracks and chips could refract the light and cause you to be blinded while driving and lose control of your car.
You might be able to have the crack or chip repaired based on its type. A star-shaped chip, for instance, is characterized by a series legs that extend from the crack. It is repairable as long as the chip is not directly into the driver's line of sight.
Another issue that is common is a bull's eye crack that appears as a circular hole in the windshield that spreads over time. This type of crack develops when a sharp object such as a road hazard or rock comes in direct contact with the windshield. A certified technician can often repair the damage by removing the outer layer of the glass, and then filling the cracked area. It's important to act quickly because the crack will only get worse with time.
