What is Windshield Repair?

A damaged windshield is often the result of a rock being picked up from a passing vehicle's tire and tossed into oncoming traffic. When it strikes your windshield, it creates a chip in the glass. Left untouched, the chip will often continue to crack until it reaches the edge of the glass. When this occurs, the vehicle becomes unsafe to drive and the windshield has to be replaced.

Windshield repair stops the chip from spreading, restores the strength, and in the process, improves the appearance. Often times the finished repair will leave the damage nearly invisible.

The repair process consists of a few very simple steps. First, all loose glass is carefully removed from the point of impact. This opens a passageway into the break. Then, an injector is mounted on the windshield directly over the damaged area. The injector creates a vacuum that sucks the air out of the break and then injects a specially formulated resin into the break, filling it completely. It is then exposed to an ultraviolet light, which cures the resin. This restores the structural integrity and clarity of the damaged area.
