Is Windshield Repair Reliable?
2 Answers
Whether car windshield repair is reliable depends on the actual damage situation and cannot be generalized. The principle of car windshield repair: filling the damaged area with liquid resin (special repair agent) and then curing it to achieve the repair effect. More information about car windshields is as follows: 1. The front windshield of a car is mainly made of laminated tempered glass and laminated regional tempered glass, which can withstand strong impact. 2. It is necessary to use glass cleaner reasonably during maintenance. When the windshield surface appears blurry, cleaning it with suitable glass cleaner can make it much clearer; if there is a problem with random reflections at night, it can also be wiped with glass cleaner.
Windshield repair is generally quite reliable, especially for minor damages like small chips or short cracks. I've been driving for nearly ten years and have had several repairs done, all with good results. The key is to address it promptly—when the damage is smaller than a coin, injecting specialized resin can seal the crack and prevent it from spreading. The repair process is straightforward: first, a professional shop cleans the crack, then fills it with resin and cures it using UV light, all done in about ten minutes. The cost is just a few hundred dollars, saving thousands compared to replacing the entire windshield. The reliability is high, with restored strength exceeding 80%, ensuring no impact on safety or visibility. However, don’t delay too long; if the crack grows or becomes deep, repair won’t work, and a full replacement becomes necessary. Regular windshield inspections can help avoid major issues.
