Can My Windshield Chip Be Repaired?

There are several forms of rock chips that you can get on your windshield. No matter how large or small the windshield chip is, they all have a very good chance of turning into a crack. Especially in hot and cold temperatures.


GlassBond can repair the chip in your windshield as long as:


*The rock chip is the size of a quarter or smaller.


*The rock chip is not at the edge of your windshield. Primarily at the bottom.


*The rock chip has not been repaired before, whether by a professional or DIY kit,

What Should I Expect When My Windshield is Repaired?

The chip is inspected to determine if drilling needs to be performed.


Air is vacuumed out of the chip/crack.


Resin is added under pressure & cycled with vacuum until the desired area is completely filled.


UV light or sunlight is applied to instantly harden the resin into place.


The hardened resin is scraped off flush so it is smooth and no disturbance to the wipers

Will I Still Be Able To See The Chip After It Is Repaired?

You may still see a small spot or distortion in the windshield where the rock chip was repaired. Every chip repair turns out different and there is really no way to know how it will turn out until the process is complete. Some repairs turn out great where you can barely see them. However, some chips don’t always clear up as much. No windshield chip will ever disappear completely regardless of who is doing it or how it is done.

Can You Repair a Chip That has been fixed before?

The answer is No. It is not possible to re-repair a windshield chip. Whether it was done by a home repair kit you buy online or anyone else. The resin that is used is UV activated and once hardened, it is virtually strong as your windshield glass and will not allow any new resin to penetrate into the chip. It is kind of a One Time deal. That is why it is important to choose a professional for your repair. Our phone technicians will ask specific questions to avoid unnecessary travel time and service fee.
