How Windshield Repair Works
1
Assessment
A technician examines the damage to confirm it can be repaired safely and effectively.
2
Preparation
The damaged area is cleaned and any loose glass is removed to prepare for the resin.
3
Resin Injection
A special clear resin is injected into the chip or crack, filling the damaged area.
4
Curing
UV light hardens the resin, bonding it to the glass and restoring structural integrity.
