Fields Windshield Repair

ed? A-Windshield chip repairs can be accomplished very successfully if the impact area is no larger than a quarter or the crack is shorter than about 3 three inches. The success rate drops with size. Q-Will the damage totally disappear after being repaired? You will still be able to see where the point of impact occurred, but it will be slight. If someone does not look closely, they probably would not see it. This fix is to prevent the crack from spreading, not to make it disappear. Q- Can the windshield repair be redone if I do not like how it looks? Once the resin has been inserted into the glass and hardened, there is no way to redo it. Often the results depend on the size and type of damage to your car windshield and the amount of time between the occurrences of the damage and when it is repaired. The sooner you have the glass repaired, the better the chances of the results looking better. Q-Could something go wrong during the windshield repair that would damage my windshield further? A-There is always that possibility. Because applied pressure on the windshield is required there is always the chance it could cause the crack to spread. If your chip already has veins running from it, it will more than likely spread whether the pressure is applied or not. But, taking the chance and having it repaired is a better first choice than going directly to installing an entire new glass unless the cracks running through it are drastic. Q-Is there a guarantee on this type of windshield repair job? There will be no charge for any failed repairs. Q-How long does a repair take? A-Most standard repairs take less than a half hour. For multiple cracks and chips it will take a little longer. Q-Can I take my vehicle to the car wash after a completed windshield repair job? A-Yes. After the resin is fully cured, which only takes a matter of minutes, the car can be washed. Q-If it is raining can I still have my windshield repaired? It is necessary for the glass to be moisture-free.
