while using your vehicle. Repair your windscreen before it needs to be replaced and save time and money and prevent a windscreen replacement. At NOVUS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Auto Glass Mitcham we can repair a windscreen crack up to 15cm (6 inches) long usually in around 20-30 minutes. Although most windscreen glass can be repaired if the damage is not too extensive, side window auto glass and rear window auto glass cannot be repaired and will require full replacement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95000fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"95000fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Repair Windscreen Cracks and Chips before you need a Full Windscreen Replacement<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6ea274 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d6ea274\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another important reason to repair windscreen cracks and chips before you need a full windscreen replacement is that replacement may cause a possible loss of strength of your vehicle\u2019s factory windscreen seal. The windscreen is a vital component for preserving the structural integrity of a vehicle involved in an accident, particularly a rollover. The car windscreen provides support for the roof, preventing it from collapsing. Keeping the original factory seal also helps avoid the risk of water or air leaks. Auto windscreen repair can preserve the structural integrity and safety of your vehicle.<\/p><p>Using the NOVUS\u00ae Auto Glass proven repair method is a safe and effective way to repair your windshield. A qualified NOVUS\u00ae\u00a0technician will use only leading industry materials and equipment to inject resin into the windshield crack chip. The technician will then cure the resin and polish the windscreen, returning approximately 75% to 95% of the optical clarity to the damaged glass and restoring the windscreens structural integrity back to almost what it was before the windscreen was damaged.<\/p><p>Windscreen repairs should be carried out as soon as possible when damage occurs to maintain optimum safety and it is important to have a trained specialist NOVUS\u00ae\u00a0Auto Glass technician perform your windscreen repair to ensure the safety of your vehicle and passengers.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4dd0996\" data-id=\"4dd0996\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91eb827 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"91eb827\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-bullseye\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df14773 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df14773\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Vision<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cc8397 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8cc8397\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To be the customer\u2019s choice as the windscreen repair experts offering the highest quality auto glass repair and replacement service in Melbourne.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6008946 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"6008946\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-handshake-o\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7692652 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7692652\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Promise<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b30e30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b30e30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">By choosing NOVUS Glass Mitcham, you are being serviced by windscreen repair experts who offer uncompromising quality and value in NOVUS products and service, delivered by people who care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df6eaf8 elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"df6eaf8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-shield\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bedbb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6bedbb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Goal<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5620537 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5620537\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">At NOVUS Mitcham, we believe that it is our responsibility to consistently provide the highest quality products and services.

Small stone chips, bullseye breaks and some star-shaped chips can often be successfully repaired if they haven&#8217;t spread into long cracks. The size, depth and location of the damage all play an important role. Chips located directly in the driver&#8217;s line of sight or near the edge of the windscreen may require replacement instead. Our technicians will inspect the damage and recommend the safest and most cost-effective solution.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2291\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2291\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> How quickly should I repair a chipped windscreen? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2291\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da3f73b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"da3f73b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-170bc79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"170bc79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It&#8217;s always best to repair a chipped windscreen as soon as possible.
