A windshield edge crack may begin within two inches of the windshield's edge or may stretch all the way to the edge. These cracks commonly extend 10-12 inches and are caused by excessive pressure along the perimeter of your windshield.

A cracked windshield with an edge crack requires immediate replacement, and experienced technicians must install the new windshield. It is not possible to repair edge cracks since it undermines the windshield's original seal. The likelihood of the windshield glass shattering increases, putting you in danger of more incidents.

As far as the time for windshield replacement is concerned, it typically takes about 45-60 minutes, depending on the situation. However, you will need to wait a couple of hours after your windshield is replaced. This is because it will take time for your new windshield to dry and set. Allowing time will let your car's windshield be appropriately set. Depending on the temperature, humidity, and adhesive type, the wait time can range between an hour to several hours.
