If your vehicles windshield is damage you must consider have it fixed. It is not only dangerous but also illegal to have a broken windshield on your vehicle. It does not matter which piece of glass on your vehicle is damaged you can get a fine. As well the safety of your vehicle is at risk.

When you have your vehicles windshield replaced aftermarket glass is almost always the better option. It is more cost efficient and has all the same features as the original glass. A car dealership will have no problem accepting aftermarket glass when you return your vehicle at the end of the lease term. As well insurance companies only cover aftermarket glass. It is not the best idea to spend money on orignal or OEM glass but if asked for it can be provided.

When it comes to deciding what needs to be done in terms of repairing or replacing your windshield the location of the damage is what is most important. If the damage in on the edge or the in the drivers view the windshield will have to be replaced.
