The Glass Detective

Fog, a crack, or stubborn spots? Take a closer look at what your glass might be telling you. Possible causes only — not a diagnosis; an on-site assessment may be needed.

Case files read in under two minutes — from your kitchen counter.

The Detective's Field Kit

Four tests, no tools required

The same tricks glass pros use on a first walk-through — you can run them all from your kitchen counter.

The Reflection Test

A lamp or flashlight at an angle tells single from dual pane: one reflection is single pane, two close reflections are dual pane.

The Stamp Hunt

Safety glass carries a small etched stamp — “Tempered” or a logo — in a corner or along an edge. Tilt it toward the light.

The White Cloth Test

Wipe with a white cloth: spots it picks up are on the surface; haze you can see through is trapped between the panes.

The Quarter Rule

A chip smaller than a quarter, away from the driver's line of sight, is usually repairable. Anything bigger or spreading needs replacement.
