How to repair

Before windscreen chip repairs, the technician need wipe the area around the damage of the windshield with a dishcloth, then use a blade to clean up the remaining impurities in the damaged part and dry it. After that, they use a special bracket to align the damaged area, extract air and inject glass glue. After the crack disappears, they can remove the bracket and dry the repaired area.

What should be noticed when repairing your windscreen?

The first thing to note is that when you find a crack on the window glass, it is better for you not to wash the car, as the water droplets remaining in the crack during the car wash will affect the repair effect. In addition, the car cannot be washed within two days of the completion of the repair, especially with the high-pressure water gun.

As the temperature changes throughout the day, it will cause the glass to deform when exposed to cold or heat. In the meantime, the wind resistance will further erode the damaged area and continue to put pressure on it if you keep driving, and as the result, the damaged area may be enlarged. If you find a millimetre of crack appears in the morning, and leave them alone keeping driving, it may become a centimetre of crack in this evening.

The strength of the windshield after repair cannot be guaranteed. When the high-speed wind resistance increases, or when the windshield is frequently stressed by such as car washing, rain, snow, wind and sand, there are certain safety risks. Therefore, it is best for a professional to repair small cracks. If the crack is too large, you cannot repair it.

Replacing the new windshield glass as soon as possible is the best choice to avoid larger cracks in the glass during use and ensure driving safety.
