Will There Be Marks After Car Glass Repair?
2 Answers
Whether there will be marks after car glass repair mainly depends on the extent of the damage. If the damage is minor, usually no repair marks will be visible, though there might be a trace as fine as a strand of hair, but the safety will not be compromised at all. Below is some relevant information about car glass: Function: Car glass is an essential part of the vehicle's body accessories, primarily serving a protective role. Classification: Car glass can be mainly divided into three types: laminated glass, tempered glass, and zone-tempered glass, all of which can withstand strong impacts. Car glass is categorized by its position into four types: windshield, side window glass, rear windshield, and sunroof glass.
I just dealt with this issue last year. A tiny pit the size of a sesame seed was chipped on the windshield by a small stone, so I had it professionally repaired. To be honest, claiming there's no trace at all is a lie, but the result was much better than expected. They first used a special drill bit to clean out the debris, then used a vacuum gun to press resin into the crack, and finally cured it with ultraviolet light. After the repair, the front side was almost invisible, but when looking out from inside the car against the sun, there was a slight rainbow-like refraction pattern. The shop owner said if the crack is larger than a coin, it's better not to repair it and just replace the glass for safety. It's been three months since the repair, and I deliberately felt the spot during car washes—the area that was originally pitted now feels smooth.
