Safelite can repair up to how many chips before replacement is required?

• A. Two chips
• B. Three chips; anything more needs a replacement
• C. Four chips
• D. No limit

Answer: (B)

Repairing windshields is limited by how much damage can be safely filled and cured without risking future cracks. Up to three chips can usually be repaired because the resin can effectively fill each defect and restore the glass’s strength without creating new weak points. When there are more than three chips, the damage exceeds what a repair can reliably fix, increasing the chance of crack propagation and compromising safety, so replacement becomes the safer option. For context, location and crack size can also influence the decision, but the standard cap being tested is three chips.
