If you have any damage to any of your windows or the windshield of your car, you should have the damage repaired for a number of reasons. Here are some examples of the reasons why having auto glass either repaired or fully replaced is a good idea. 

You won't get pulled over

If you have damage to your windshield, then you are increasing the chances of being pulled over because there are laws regarding what damage you can't have on your windshield while you are driving. If the windshield is found to be a risk or if it is found to impede your ability to see properly, then you can be given a ticket. Once you have the windshield fixed or replaced, you don't have to worry about getting pulled over because of your damaged windshield. 

Your car won't be easily broken into

If you have a broken window in your car that leaves you either with a window that is completely gone or one that won't go up all of the way, then it can make your car a very easy target for someone who is looking for a car to break into. Having the window fixed will prevent your car from being the one that stands out as the best and easiest one for a criminal to violate. 

You won't have water damage

When you have damage to a window in your car that allows water to enter each time it rains or snows or even when the car is washed, then that water will get on the floor, on the seats, and anywhere else inside of the car where it can cause damage. It can cause electrical problems in the car, it can cause mold to grow in the car, and it can even cause problems with the interior that range from it being stained to it becoming brittle and ripping. 

You won't lower the car's value

When you have a broken window, it will affect the worth of your car. Also, any of the other damage that happens due to that window damage will further lower the value of the car. So, if you are going to end up trying to trade the car in at some point, or if you want to sell it to a private party, then you will need to have the window fixed and fix any of the other damage caused by it beforehand in order to ensure you get a fair price for the car.
