Repair windshield!? HELP! Windshield Repair
Details Question: I just got my windshield "repaired" by some guys who tried to replace me, since the beginning. I asked them to repair First B / c I wanted to see what it would look like before I replace.
It looks exactly the same thing! No change at all. I think they just want me to replace the windshield, but I prefer it to be repaired properly. The fragments of rock is about the size of a nickel ... it is small and I can not believe it would still be visible if they had done.
Can anyone recommend a company? Preferably a personal experience. I live in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Thank you! : O)
I have a few comments:
1st I'm really sorry you had to face a hack!
Second if he actually put a "repair" material (resin) in the chip, it is sealed and will not be able to repair this particular chip.
In addition, if the chip is again clear that it should have been released (could not see) it was repaired with a kit of aspiration. Basically the air and dirt must be removed by suction and replaced with resin, then the pressure to push the resin into all parts of the chip. The last stage of repair is cured with UV light, then buff the surface to be sure it is smooth.
In the future, when you get a rock chip to a piece of transparent tape on this ASAP, to keep it clean and dry. Do not wash your car wash with high pressure until you get it fixed. _if_ And you can find someone who offers a repair service for their first use. Not a replacement company will also repair.
Finally, good luck!
I agree with Cindy T. Hello Cindy Flag

they cannot always fix them and make them look like nothing had happened to them, so the guy tried to help you replace it, he knew he would not come out looking good, he probably repaired it the best it could be a great place on a glass and it will be sensitive, so you should have listened and was replaced, there is a limit to the size of compensation they can do not be remarkable in any place in a large glass will be visible if you have now, It must be replaced if you want it done away, good luck with it.
Two things. Safelite Auto Glass is everywhere in the U.S. and did a great job. You can see if they are close by looking here: http://www.safelite.com/locator.jsp
Second ... glass repair will not fix what it looks like ... it will just ensure that it will not crack even in the heat / cold. We did it, and the guy told me that it will not be much more enjoyable. He looked better ... but not much.
