2 Answers
Windshield rice grain-sized pit repair steps are as follows: 1. Clean glass debris thoroughly: After drilling, remove all glass fragments from the pit as they may affect the repair result. 2. Inject repair fluid into the pit: Use repair tools to inject and pressurize the repair fluid into the pit until it fills completely. 3. Cure the repair fluid: Use a UV lamp to solidify the repair fluid. 4. Remove repair tools: Dismantle the tools and scrape off any residual repair fluid on the surface with a blade to complete the repair. While you can purchase tools to repair windshield rice grain-sized pits yourself, for better results, consider visiting a professional glass repair shop.
I often fix small car issues myself, and repairing small windshield pits is actually quite simple. First, buy a windshield repair kit, which is inexpensive and costs just a few dozen yuan. The steps are to clean the pit thoroughly, secure the tool with a suction cup, apply the special resin, and then cure it with a UV light for a few minutes. Once done, sand it smooth, and the mark is barely noticeable. I’ve done it several times myself, and the results are excellent—especially for those tiny pits the size of a grain of rice. One repair is usually enough, saving the cost of going to a professional shop. The key is to keep your hands steady during the process and avoid over-applying the resin to prevent overflow. After the repair, your driving visibility is restored, making it much safer. Regularly check your windshield—if these small pits aren’t addressed in time, prolonged friction from sand can make them grow or even crack, forcing you to replace the entire windshield at a much higher cost.
