Did you know that today’s windshields are a safety device just like seat belts and airbags. The installation of the auto glass is done with an automotive grade urethane designed specifically for automobiles. The adhesive creates a molecular bond between the glass and the vehicle. If the adhesive bond fails at any point on the glass it can reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and substantially compromise the structural integrity of the roof.
If the damage is in the driver’s line of sight or very near the windshield’s edge, it usually cannot be repaired.
Some additional damages that are very difficult to repair, or cannot be repaired, are:
- on inside of the windshield
- deep damage on both layers of glass
- damage over rain sensor or internal radio antenna
- damages that reach into the driver’s critical viewing area
- complex multiple cracks
- very long cracks
- contaminated cracks
- edge cracks and chips
- more than three separate and individual cracks or chips
In windshield repair, air is removed from the damaged area on the windshield with a specified vacuum injection pump. Then using the injection pump, clear adhesive resin is injected to replace the air in the windshield crack. The resin is then cured with an ultraviolet light. When done properly, the damaged area’s strength is restored, as is 90–95% of the clarity. Auto glass chip repair usually take about 15–20 minutes.
