According to the National windshield Repair Association of Harrisburg, PA, the location of the damage or crack and the actual size of the damage or crack are both important in the decision to recommend repair.
Also known as the critical area or primary vision area, the acute area is the area of the windshield in the driver's direct line of sight. According to NWRA's "Recommended Practice for the Repair of Windshields," the acute area is an area approximately 8.5 inches high by 11 inches wide directly in front of the driver and beginning just above the steering wheel.
In the acute area of the windshield, NWRA recommends repair if the damage can be completely covered by a 25-cent U.S. coin, a 0.95-inch diameter circle.
