Initial Windshield Damage Assessment

Our technician will assess the size, depth, and location of each chip and crack. Windshield chip repair works best on damage that is smaller than a silver dollar and has not reached the edges of the windshield. We check for:

• Chip size and depth through the glass layers
• Crack length and branching patterns
• Location relative to the driver's sight line and edges of the windshield
• Contamination from dirt, moisture, or previous repair attempts
• Rain sensor and calibration components that may affect the repair strategy

This assessment helps us determine whether repair or replacement is the best option. We provide honest recommendations and explain why replacement may be needed if the damage is beyond repair.

Surface Preparation and Cleaning

Before repairing, we clean the damaged area thoroughly to remove dirt, moisture, and debris. This is essential to ensure that the resin bonds correctly with the glass.

We use specialized glass cleaner, and precision tape is applied to protect the surrounding areas. If needed, we drill a small hole to access the damaged layer, allowing the resin to fill the cracks without causing additional stress points.

Resin Injection and Curing

We inject high-quality resin into the damaged area under vacuum pressure, filling every crack and void. The resin bonds with the existing glass at a molecular level, creating a strong seal.

After the resin is injected, we use UV curing lamps to harden the material, ensuring it is set and providing a permanent repair that is stronger than the surrounding glass.

Quality Inspection and ADAS Recalibration

Each repair undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure complete resin penetration, proper curing, and that the repair has not affected visibility.

For vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), we recalibrate the sensors to ensure they are working correctly after the repair.

The result is a windshield that restores over 95% of its original strength. While a faint mark may remain visible from certain angles, the structural integrity of the glass is fully restored.
