WHAT IS WINDSHIELD REPAIR?

Road debris often strikes a windshield and creates damage in the glass. Unless the cracking process is stopped, it will continue until the cracks, or breaks, expand to cover large areas of the windshield. These damages range from small 'nicks' to large shattered areas. Most of the smaller damages can be repaired without removing or replacing the windshield, thus stopping the cracking process.
Windshield repair is accomplished by 1st removing the air out of the pitted area and then injecting a bonding agent, referred to as resin, into the broken area. This bonding agent then bonds the glass surfaces together inside the broken area and stops the cracking process.

WHAT TO DO WHEN DAMAGE OCCURS
|
|
|
|
** DON'T touch the damaged area with your fingers or hands. Oil & dirt may get inside.
** DO tape cellophane over the damage until you can have it repaired. This will help to keep dirt & water from entering the inside layers of the glass.
** DON'T wash it & try to keep it dry.
** DON'T drive on rough roads.
** Try to keep it out of direct sunlight and DON'T run air conditioner through the top vents.
** DON'T try to repair it yourself with super glue, clear fingernail polish or other do-it-yourself kits. These processes are irreversible and will ruin your windshield by trapping air, moisture and broken glass inside making replacement the only alternative.
** Whether you call us or someone else, HAVE IT REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
