Repairs
Bullseyes, stars ie small shattered areas in laminated glass can be repaired
by the injection of a resin which is optically matched to glass and works like
a glue in that it bonds the cracks preventing them from spreading, thus eliminated
the need to replace it. Very often your windscreen can be repaired regardless
of what some opposition services will tell you. Some companies in particular
will "encourage" you to replace a windscreen even when it is not necessary,
sometimes in a less than honest manner.
There are three main reasons for repairing chips and cracks in laminated windscreens:
- First is to stop the initial damage from further cracking and spreading
into critical areas, thereby avoiding the expense, mess, risk of leaking and
time involved in replacing a whole windscreen. All our repairs are guaranteed
not to crack and are accompanied by a life-time written 100% unconditional
warranty.
- Second, depending on the type and placement of damage and local requirements,
it may prevent your car from passing the registration inspection. Again, all
our repairs are accompanied by a life- time written 100% unconditional warranty
to pass the registration inspection, whether it be the annual pink slip, or
blue slip that is sometimes required under more special circumstances.
- Third, is for cosmetic improvement. Depending on the type, size and age
of the damage, a varying visually improved result is achieved. They can be
virtually undetectable. Damage that is years old can be repaired but it is
desirable that it is repaired while still fresh as the ingress of dust and
contaminating material over a long period can affect the clarity of a completed
repair, so in general, the fresher the better.
Remember however, that despite the possibility that there may be some slight
remains of where the damage has been, as previously stated, all our repairs
are guaranteed to save the windscreen from cracking, for re-registration,
and come with a written warranty.
