How to Repair Stone Impact Pits on Car Windshields?
2 Answers
Methods for repairing stone impact pits on car windshields: You can go to an auto beauty shop for repairs. The main method of repairing car glass involves filling the cracks with a liquid adhesive to eliminate gaps. The material used for filling the glass is a highly transparent liquid adhesive that can quickly solidify under ultraviolet heating, achieving a strength of over 90% of the original glass. It is important to repair the glass as soon as possible after damage occurs, because during driving, the windshield not only withstands wind resistance but also continuous vibrations. Over time, small cracks can develop into large ones. Once they become large cracks, the entire glass panel will need to be replaced.
I remember last month while driving, a small stone hit my windshield and left a tiny chip, which really startled me because I heard that if not repaired in time, it could crack into a large area. I quickly looked up information and found that fixing a small chip is actually quite simple—just buy a DIY repair kit. The kit includes a resin syringe and adhesive tape, and the process is pretty straightforward: first, thoroughly clean the impact spot and wipe off any dirt, then apply a transparent patch to prevent dust from getting in, and inject resin to fill the chip, using the included small tool to press it flat. Finally, let it cure for a few minutes under strong sunlight or a UV lamp, and the chip becomes almost invisible, saving the cost of going to a professional shop. The whole process takes no more than half an hour and costs just a few dozen bucks, much cheaper than replacing the entire windshield. The key is to act early; otherwise, if the crack spreads, it becomes much harder to fix. Now, I always check my windshield before driving, just in case any new issues appear.
