Should you repair or replace a windshield? It depends
entirely on the nature and the size of damage. Seeing the importance of this
structure, you should repair or replace it at the earliest. Experts in the
windshield repair and replacement industry follow a few foolproof processes to
complete their jobs.
The first thing they would do is to clean the chip and
remove air pockets that might have formed inside the damaged area. Next, they
would use a drill to open the chip slightly. This would allow the repair resin
to flow evenly into the parts of the chip. Then the experts would inject the
resin into the chip. Finally, they would use ultraviolet light to cure the
resin and form a seamless bond with the glass. Usually the whole process takes
nearly half an hour.
If the damage is beyond repair, a replacement is the only
solution. The windshield expert would start by removing the plastic surround
side and top moldings. They would cut the urethane from the outside between the
glass and the pinch weld, using a cold knife and then prepare the pinch weld. They
would continue preparing the glass with a primer matched to the urethane
adhesive and apply the urethane with a caulking gun. Finally, they would place
the windshield in, while aligning the top bottom and the sides.
