When the resin is cured the strength is restored as is most of the clarity. What kind of damage can be repaired? Stone damage or stone "chips" up to the size of a 50 cent piece can be repaired, as well as single long cracks up to a length of 24 inches. Best results are obtained when the repair is done before the damaged area becomes contaminated from car washing or other exposure. Where do I get my windshield repaired? Try looking in your local yellow pages under the heading of windshield repair. Call around and find a business that specializes in windshield repair. Ask if the technicians are certified members of the NWRA (National Windshield Repair Association), we are certified members. | Why repair my windshield? Repairing a damaged windshield makes sense for several reasons. Repairs save you money by preventing the need for a costly replacement. Repairs are very convenient, and do not affect the integrity of the original factory seal since the glass is never removed. With the rising price of modern automotive glass and the high rate of faulty installations, it's a great alternative! Did you know how dangerous a bad installation can be? What does a repair cost? A lot less than a replacement! The industry average is $300 to $500 for replacing a windshield, more for the newer upscale model vehicles. Prices vary from area to area but on average a stone chip repair costs one-fifth and a long crack one-third, depending on the length, of that replacement cost! |
