Why Windshield Integrity Matters
Did you know that today’s windshields are a safety device, just like seat belts and airbags? The auto glass installation is done with an automotive-grade urethane designed specifically for vehicles. This adhesive creates a molecular bond between the glass and the vehicle frame. If the adhesive bond fails at any point on the glass, it can reduce the effectiveness of the airbag and substantially compromise the structural integrity of the roof.
When Repair is Not Possible
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 or impossible to repair include:
- Damage on the inside of the windshield
- Deep damage to both layers of glass
- Damage to the 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
The Windshield Repair Process
In windshield repair, air is removed from the damaged area using 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 takes about 15–20 minutes.
