The glass of the car constantly experiences internal and external mechanical stresses under the influence of temperature changes, vibrations that occur during the movement of the car on uneven roads. Therefore, the repair of chips and cracks on the windshield should be done immediately after the appearance of damage, without postponing it in a long box.
To determine the order of further actions, it is necessary to determine the type of damage and its depth. Not all types of windshield damage should be eliminated, as the cost of repair can cost more than replacing the damaged glass with a new one. If both the outer and inner sides of the glass are damaged, then its dismantling will be required for repair, which also complicates and increases the cost of work. Carefully inspect the damage on both sides and proceed to repair, making sure that only its outer layer is damaged.
At first glance, the damage on the glass may seem insignificant. However, over time, from the vibration of the car body when driving, the problem area expands quite quickly, the cracks branch and subsequent repairs will become more expensive.
