Instantly stop that crack
Windshield Crack Arrest
Crack Arrest is intended only to help stop an existing windshield crack from spreading. It does not hide the crack, make it disappear, or cosmetically repair the damaged line.

What does Crack Arrest do?
Crack Arrest addresses one immediate goal: helping keep an existing crack from continuing to spread. The visible crack remains. This is why Mint Chips describes Crack Arrest separately from full structural crack repair.
Crack Arrest is not a promise that every crack can be stabilized. Length, location, edge involvement, depth, contamination, age, previous work, and the windshield’s overall condition can affect the assessment.
Know the difference
Crack Arrest is not full crack repair.
Industry repair standards describe full crack repair as a process that fills the crack with an appropriate curable resin, cures the resin, finishes the surface, and inspects the result. Mint Chips’ Crack Arrest option is a separate, more limited service and is not presented as full structural or cosmetic crack repair.
| Service | Primary purpose | Appearance | Mint Chips price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crack Arrest | Help stop an existing crack from spreading | Visible crack remains | $75 |
| Full crack repair | Structurally repair eligible crack damage up to 10 inches | Cosmetic result varies; the repair is not promised to disappear | $225 |
| Replacement | Remove and replace the glass | New replacement glass | Not sold by Mint Chips |
Industry context: ANSI/AGSC/NWRD/ROLAGS 002-2022. This reference explains full repair; it does not turn Crack Arrest into full repair or imply an unverified certification.
Start with two photos
How Mint Chips reviews a crack.
Send one close photo, one wider photo showing the crack’s position, and a ruler beside the crack for scale when possible. Include the vehicle year, make and model, the service city or ZIP, and preferred timing.
Photos help identify the likely next step. Sending a request does not guarantee eligibility or an appointment; the glass is confirmed in person.
