It can be repaired, but it depends on the length of the crack. If the crack is too long, it cannot be repaired. Generally, windshield repair refers to small dents caused by stones or other objects hitting the windshield, which can be filled with a special glass repair agent without affecting the original glass structure and function. The following are the precautions regarding windshield repair: 1. Note one: If cracks appear on the windshield, it is necessary to repair them as soon as possible. Otherwise, with the temperature changes throughout the day, the glass may deform due to heating and cooling, and the wind resistance during continued driving will further erode the damaged area, putting continuous pressure on it. The damage may be amplified. If the best repair area is missed, the repair effect may be greatly reduced. 2. Note two: Additionally, if the crack is too long, it is not recommended to repair it, as it is prone to cracking again later, and the strength of the windshield cannot be guaranteed, posing certain safety hazards. It is better to replace the windshield as soon as possible.

Protection against harmful UV rays: While UV radiation has sterilizing effects, it can also damage human skin.
