How to Repair Small Chips Caused by Stones on the Windshield?

You can purchase windshield repair fluid online and fix it yourself. Here is some relevant information about car windshields: Precautions: The windshield must be replaced correctly. To prevent air and water leaks, avoid washing the car for three days, and remove the tape securing the windshield position after three days. Drive smoothly and avoid sudden braking and rapid acceleration. Function: The reflection of passengers inside the car through the front windshield appears above the front of the car, while pedestrians on the road are in front of the car, allowing the driver to distinguish between passengers inside the car and pedestrians on the road. If the car's windshield is placed vertically, like a large flat mirror, it will reflect the passengers inside the car in front of the vehicle, obstructing the driver's view of pedestrians on the road and potentially causing illusions.
Once when I was driving, a small chip was caused by a pebble, so I dealt with it immediately to prevent it from getting worse. The simplest method is to buy a car glass repair kit yourself, which costs about twenty yuan online. First, clean the small chip thoroughly, ensuring there's no water or dust. Then, use the included syringe to fill it with resin and inject it into the dent, pressing slightly to fill any air gaps. Next, use the UV lamp to cure and harden it for about three to five minutes. The whole process takes about ten minutes, and the chip becomes much less noticeable while also becoming waterproof and crack-resistant. If left unrepaired, bumps or temperature changes could turn the small chip into a large crack, requiring a full glass replacement, which is more costly and troublesome. A friend of mine learned this the hard way, so I recommend acting early. DIY repair is easy and cost-effective, and the kits are available at auto parts stores or e-commerce platforms.
