How to hide chip on the windshield. Skol on the windshield. What to do? Types of auto glass and their features

The windshield of the car may be damaged by different reasons: as a result of temperature drop (for example, due to the power on the air conditioner in a strongly heated machine), and mechanically stones flying out of the wheels of other cars. And if you do not have full insurance (autocarter does not count - this is an insurance is not your car, and the one in which you, God forbid, drink), it turns out the fall in the same place. It's a shame, it seems like not to blame, and problems arose. The cost of the new glass is quite high, and the installation is not cheap, in most cases, it is much more profitable to execute local repairs automotive glass Using the right methodology and reliable professional methods.

And here there are two options - choose a car workshop and trusted professionals (here is also not everything goes smoothly) or make yourself repairing your affected automotive glass. In any case, what and how it will be done will be useful to know if we decided not to change the glass completely. Of course, the choice depends on the nature and size of damage.

In modern cars, two main types of glasses are applied - hardened or three-layer. Three-layer glasses consist of two layers of glass and polymer between them. The tempered glass is subjected to a heat treatment cycle, which makes them stronger and in case of destruction prevents sharp edges on fragments, ensuring the safety of passengers.
Glasses are attached to the body by inclination or rubber seal. The first method is more modern and prevents glass loss with a strong impact. The second method is cheaper, but rubber with time begins to lose elasticity, stops protecting the salon from moisture.

In general, under the repair of glasses it is understood by the sealing of abrasion and chips. By definition, such an embelling restores the strength of the glass and makes defects that were on glass, poorly spare. By itself, the chip consists of a lost piece of glass and internal damage. To get rid of it, the inner portion and the crack are filled with a special polymer. Filling occurs with the help of a special injector, and the polymer used to fill, has the same optical properties, the same refractive index of light as glass. After the polymer is applied, the internal cavities of the chip or cracks are reliably adhered. The polymer hardened under the influence of ultraviolet rays, and after all this glass is polished and acquires the new kind. Such an action is beneficial in the event that damage is not very serious. After this procedure, the strength of the glass is restored by 87-97%. And this, you see, very, very good.
Now in more detail.

For high-quality repair of auto glass requires professional tools. Typical set is shown below in the picture.

Major damage to auto glass and their repair

Skol.
Schole looks like a small hole on the glass. Most often, it appears due to a sharp ingress of gravel or small pebbles that arrive from under the wheels of other cars.
Most often, the chip does not deteriorate significantly, but weakens the glass and can trigger the appearance of cracks in several directions around damage. Cracks around the chip can quickly arise in the cold season. It is much easier to repair the chip, than the resulting cracks.

How to repair chips?
Screen repair is usually made using an injector and a special polymer. The injector for the repair of chips has an internal piston. Lifting up, the piston creates a vacuum, and the damage is filled with a polymer. In the same way, you can "cure" and cracks on the glass, but it is better to repair at the time until the church is still filled with mud and has not been transformed into a huge, ugly crack.

Crack
The crack is much more annoying and serious trouble than chip. Even a small crack is already limiting visibility, sometimes refracting the light entering it. In addition, at any time the crack can split on the "web" from the surrounding minor branches. And also - with a large crack on the glass, you can easily not pass the inspection.

Causes of cracks:
● Most often cracks, like chips, arise from the random "arriving" in the glass of an outsider.
● On some models, the car can occur due to inconspicuous, but permanent movements and body swaying, which ultimately deform the body itself, and windshield itself.
● Initially low quality glass. Sometimes glass on the car is replaced by the option from manufacturers from the side. Such glasses are not very plastic, and the crack may occur even from a sharp drop temperature.
● The risk of cracking is especially high in the cold season: especially if a small amount of moisture falls into the microframing.
● The crack can develop from a small chip in the event of a sharp braking or other sudden car shake. Therefore, it is important to carefully inspect the windshield for the presence of chips when buying a used machine.

How to repair cracks?
Polymer is used to repair cracks, the penetrating ability of which is very high. The crack is filled with material that makes damage almost inconspicuous. But, as in the case of chips, the earlier start repair - the less unpleasant consequences Can expect your car in the future.

The success of the repair of cracks on the glass can prevent such factors such as:
- getting into the crack of dirt and dust that will not allow the polymer to completely close the defect;
- detachment of the plastic layer of glass at a strong impact. Such damage is difficult to eliminate even with a polymer, since the glass will remain muddy due to damage to the middle layer;
- Different optical characteristics of glass and polymer, which are not always able to perfectly combine.

Crack repair process on glass
When repairing from a crack, the voltage is first removed, which prevents its further growth. After this, damage is filled with a polymer with a similar refractive index, the composition is frozen and reliably records the edges of the crack.
In the injector for repairing cracks there is an inner piston, which is screwed and unscrewed with threads. The piston creates a pressure that allows the polymer to divently disperse along the entire length of the crack.

For independent repair It is necessary to buy a ready-made kit for such cases in a special store, as a rule, consisting of a special device on suction cups used for convenient contact with glass, sealant based on synthetic resins and a thin film to cover the drying zone. You also need a drill (with a diamond tip), polyrolol (quartz sands, corundum, essay ...) and nozzles for polishing.

The total crack repair algorithm looks like this:

● Initially, you need to stop the crack so that it does not start develop further. For this, there are two small chips on the sides of damage, which stop the propagation of the crack. Typically, the edges of the crack are treated with a diamond drill.

● The damage area is cleared: the dirt is removed, the chief is carefully dried and cleared of dirt and dust particles.
● Install the tool on the suction cups on the windshield so that its four legs are placed around the crack, and the central hole was strictly over the crack itself. Then insert a tube with a resin into this hole and squeeze it to enter three four droplets of the resin directly into the crack. Further, you can remove the tube, and insert the piston instead, which will tighten the grip with the windshield to "pull" two edges of the crack.

● You can distribute the glue evenly using a special finishing film. It must be laid from the center to the edges so that there are no air bubbles inside.
● After filling, the crack is dried with an ultraviolet lamp. Such a lamp significantly reduces drying time. In addition, if the glue will dry in the sun, there is a high probability of cloudy.

● Upon completion of the pouring of the polymer, the film and excess substances are carefully removed. The remnants of the adhesive can be carefully removed by the blade or other flat object.
● The process ends with glass polishing, using special paste.

Professionally completed repair of windshields makes cracks with almost imperceptible, however, to restore 100% optical transparency and glass hardness is impossible. Complete repair windscale glasses with a vacuum cleaner of small fragments, this procedure is especially necessary if the operations were carried out with inner Glass.
However, if the cracks are too much or their length is significant, it is advisable to completely replace the windshield to the new one.

Several recommendations that you need and what do not be done immediately after getting a crack or chipped or any other automotive glass

Immediately after the acquisition of a defect on the glass, it is recommended to make a damaged place of scotch. Scotch helps to prevent dust, water or dirt from entering a defective glass section: which significantly facilitates the repair and allows you to perform it better.
- In the cold time, blowing the stove is better to send down - towards the legs.
- On a warm day under the tape, it is better to put the paper to glue Scotch's glue to damage.
- If you have to postpone repair for a while, then avoid washing glass using special chemical detergents. Once in a crack, these substances can after lead to the fact that the glue for the cracks of the windshield is not polymerized enough.
- To the place of repair is better to go to the minimum speed, because the vibration and push of the car body cause cracking.

Prevention of cracks and protection of car windows

To avoid the appearance of cracks or the growth of already existing damage, you need to remember some important moments In operation cars:

● In the cold season, you should not install the stove regulator immediately to the maximum and direct the entire flow of heat to the windshield. Salon need to warm up gradually after cleaning from snow or ice.
● In the summer, the same recommendation is applicable to the air conditioner: it is not necessary to immediately install it for maximum cooling and blowing the glass.
● In winter, it is not necessary to turn on the wipers if you are adhesive to them. They need to be cleaned or wait until the pieces of ice are melted. If the machine remains in the cold for a long time - the wipers need to bend: so that they do not
stuck to glass. Old wipers need to be replaced, especially if they crush and hide the glass when working.
● Pollution with glasses better delete special meansUsing a soft cloth or sponge.
● Periodic polishing prevents glass from microcracks and scratches.

Damage to the automotive glasses are among the most common problems with which you have to face machine owners. Modern technologies allow them to carry out their quality repairs. The company autotypes offers prompt and professional repair of glasses in Moscow.

If you find on lobby glass Skol or crack, do not hurry to change it, because such damage to any statute of limitations is easily repaired. In the crack, the dirt falls much faster, so in this case it is not worth tightening with the repair, the more it gradually and inevitably increases.

Most often, the chip on the windshield appears as a result of a stone impact from the wheel of the counter or passing car. Usually such damage does not reduce visibility. The main danger is that it weakens the glass and at any time can become a source of development of cracks, reaching radially from the chip in several directions. In this case, the windshield can be completely unsuitable for further operation due to a sharp reduction in visibility.

What will happen to cry after repair?

After the work performed, damage to the glass will become low. This refers to clean chips and cracks, so we recommend not tightening with repair.

Examples of work performed:

Repair of windshield chips

Squares on the windshield are filled with a special polymer composition, reliably gluing internal cavities using an injection tool. To eliminate the visual distortion of the damaged area, a composition having the same with the glass of the optical refraction coefficient of light, which hardens only under the influence of UV radiation is applied.

This repair is most effective precisely at the stage of initial damage, when Skol has not yet become a crack, and dirt did not get into it.

How is the repair of chick?

• The central part is inspired by small fragments and dirt. If the length of the rays is more than 1.5 cm, then at the end of each of them is drilling.
• With the help of an injector under pressure, the chuck and all its small rays are filled.
• A ultraviolet polymerization lamp is installed on a polymer polymer.

It is much easier to repair the bulk than the resulting cracks, and even more so this procedure will cost cheaper than replacing the windshield of the car entirely.

Windshield crack repair

The main trouble of the crack in the fact that the visibility is reduced. Caused by light refracting on the "border" glass-glass. While the crack is small, the visibility is not limited, and it does not interfere with driving a car. However, the second danger is immediately listed - the crack at any time can increase, or divided into several directions. Repair must be carried out in a timely manner, until they have increased in size and have not led to the loss of windshield.

Why can't damage absolutely invisible? There are several reasons preventing the achievement of the perfect result.

• Dirt and dust, which come to the crack, interfere with the polymer completely fill in the defect and displace all the air. Consequently, the air remaining there will create the refraction of media and give glare. In addition, small particles of dirt and dust will reduce light-ups in the place of defect. The faster you contact glass repair professionals, the less dirt will have time to accumulate in a crack, which means that the result will be better.
• A strong blow often causes local damage or detecting the middle plastic layer of the windshield of the car triplex. It is impossible to fix it and in the place of the defect glass will be muddy due to the turbidity of the middle plastic layer.
• Glasses differ in properties, so it is impossible to create a polymer with ideal optical components.

Thus, if you ask for help for help from experts in time, you can not only avoid damage to the development, but also to make it almost inconspicuous, because to remove moisture and dust that has been drove in a few days of driving, it is not real yet - they will manifest after repair And they will be given the place where the crack was.

How does the windshield crack repair?

• At the end of the crack, if it does not reach the edge of the glass, drilling (not through) to prevent its further "growth".
• It is then filled with a polymer.
• Polymerized with ultraviolet lamp.
• Remains extra polymer residues, the repair point is polished.

At the first stage, the stress is removed to prevent further crack growth. It is then filled with a polymer that has the same refractive factor as the auto glass. Under the influence of ultraviolet the desired spectrum (with a certain wavelength), the composition is polymerized and the edges of the crack are securely glued.

What to do if a crack appeared on the windshield?

You must immediately take a damaged place immediately - it will prevent the dirt there. IMPORTANT: Under the tape, be sure to build a clean piece of paper (it is necessary so that glue from the tape cannot be in a crack). If the crack is clean, they still did not get dirt, water, any chemistry or reagent from the road, then the repair will be high-quality, the crack glues well and its further development will stop.

Repair of the vehicle windshield cracks can occupy from one to one and a half hours. It can often be done in the presence of the owner - during work you can expect readiness in the client zone of our technical center.

The trouble happened: flew out from under wheels or spikes from the tread driving past the car fell into the windshield of your car. But, there is no reason to despair. Stay for a second and appreciate the situation.

Why is it necessary to repair the windshield to repair the windshield in a timely manner?

Skol glass. And this has its own plus. Skol - not crack. Scola repair on the windshield procedure is less problematic than.

What for? At least in order to take preventive measures to help you in the future cope with the scola repair procedure on the windshield. Do not be lazy, creek the place of the chip with transparent scotch - then it will then reduce the process of cleaning the defect from dirt.

Why does such attention chick on the glass? Elementally simple. On time the repair of windshield chips allows you to stop the process of turning the chip in the crack, and avoid a more cost procedure - your car. Choose, you are a practical and sensible person.

Repair of chips on the windshield does not require much professionalism and deep knowledge of the engine device internal combustion. Total need: Your desire, "field" set "ambulance" for glass in the form, for example, a set for repairing the windshield "Abro" and time.

Why Abro? Not necessary. The set can be any manufacturer which you choose in the auto shop. The main thing is that it is equipped and the shelf life corresponded. Otherwise, the polymer applied to the chief, or will not "take", or will have a low transparency coefficient, and even it will not help you.

The cost of recruitment for repairing windshield samples is many times less than the amount you will hear in the service. And the choice naturally is yours. But the chips for the season can be somewhat, then, probably, it is easier to change the car immediately. Repair of windshield choles for you. Do not doubt.

Windshield Scole Repair Stages

Repair of chips on the windshield is preferably in the garage and with appropriate sunny weather. Although it is not an axiom. No weather - there is a hair dryer or a construction hairdryer of a neighbor. There is always a way out.

Evaluation of degree of defect. With the help of a flashlight, appreciate the area of \u200b\u200bthe chip, and can be microcracks, which are unnoticed by the naked eye. If, yes, the edges of the cracks must be sealing to prevent cracking. For this you need: an electric drill and diamond drill.

Skol preparation to repair. If there are no cracks, then continue the repair of windshield chips using a set. Clean the defect area thoroughly: Remove, rinse dust, dirt, microker glass from the chip cavity. Thoroughly dry the place of the chip with a hair dryer. It is not recommended to wash the place of repair using chemistry - a film is formed, which will prevent the polymer, perform its work. Just water and tassel or needle from the set. Degrease the place of chip alcohol.

Installation of a mini-injector. In the repair kit there is a self-adhesive "circle" and a plastic "nipple" for a syringe. This is an improvised one-time injector. We produce its installation according to the instructions.

Polymer preparation. Syringe from the set fill out of two tanks (if the polymer is one-component, it is even easier, you do not need to mix).

Polymerization process. We establish a syringe into the "nipple" and make several pumping: discharge - 4-6 minutes, overpressure - 8-10 minutes, again discharge. In fact, these procedures are carried out by the manufacturer of the scroll repair, describes in detail in the instructions.

Includes a special metal bracket for fixing the syringe to the nipple of the injector. After creating a pressure in the syringe, the design is left for the time specified in the instructions. As a rule, 4-6 hours.

The final stage - cleaning the place of repair from the excess polymer. We remove the injector and blade or the construction knife we \u200b\u200bremove excess glue. But, finally, the polymer hardens for 8-10 hours.

Everything. Repair of windshield chips are made, it is possible to polish the place of repair or, since it took, all the windshield. The goal is achieved, the chip is eliminated, the risk of cracking on the windshield is minimized. Let's hit the road. Let it easily be possible to repair chips on the windshield.

Whoever spoke to, but to close the crack completely and restore initial View Glass is impossible. To date, such technologies simply do not yet exist. One can only create the visibility of the whole glass and in the presence of chips to prevent their sprawling to cracks.
Even if the damage to immediately stop and take the place of impact, dust and dirt will still have to get inside, it will not allow the polymer to completely fill the damaged space and squeeze the air. The crack will create glare due to a change in refractive angle. The quality of work depends not only on how quickly it was possible to perform repairs, but also from the quality of the materials used and the level of professionalism of the masters.
If a crack was formed after hitting the glass, then in most cases such damage is accompanied by the detachment of the plastic layer located inside. Ideally correct such defects will not be able to not be a single specialist, there will still be markedly cloues and other visible places of repair, the degree of which depends on the limitation of crack or chip, forms and other features.
The polymer, which fill damaged places, is similar to the structure of the glass, but there is still a difference and if desired, the placement space can be chopped by an unarmed eye. The repair of cracks on the glass according to the technology is no different from the repair of chips, except that time leaves more due to the larger area of \u200b\u200bdefects.
Be that as it may, after hitting, it is necessary to immediately stop and take the place of damage, all the same, the less dust falls into the inside, the better. Under the tape, you must definitely put a sheet of paper so that the glue from the tape does not get inside. The cleaner will be the place of defect, the better the repair and accordingly there will be minimal differences accordingly. The most important thing is that after repair you can not be afraid that the crack will not start spreading and soon the so-called "spider" is not formed on the windshield.

Good luck to you, lovers of their car.

Nothing foreshadowed troubles, and here ... the treacherous pebble flies out of the wheels and leaves a crack on the windshield. Is it possible to save the glass and what to do to prevent further destruction of the glass? We will tell.

What is dangerous chip or crack on the glass

Danger ride even with a slight, it would seem, a scolf or a crack, is that in a strong heat or frost, even barely noticeable "web" quickly becomes a huge crack. It is impossible to ride with such glass.

First, you will not pass, And stopping you the inspectors of the patrol and woofer will regularly draw your attention to the need to eliminate the glass defect.

Secondly, it just unsafe: After all, the crack even in the "unimportant" section of the windshield can lead to a chain of fatal events, when you do not notice some trifle on the road, or distract your attention to the crack itself and notice too late.

Thirdly, with such a defect on the windshield You will not be able to go to the European Union. Border services of many European countries without oscillations unfold cars with cracks on the glasses back, because it is not just a "cosmetic" flaw, but a direct threat to the safety of the driver, passenger and other participants road. Especially if the defect is located in the glass cleaning zone with brushes cleaners.

What you need to do immediately after the incident

So, if a stone arrived in your glass, and you see Skol, your actions should be aimed at not giveing \u200b\u200bthis chick to grow.!

Fortunately, modern technologies Glass recovery will help to correct the problem, and you will not need to spend money on an expensive replacement details - but only if you do everything right.

Once you have faced with damage to the glass, you need to stop the car (in the permitted place, of course) and search for a tape, isolent and paper.

You can go to the nearest pharmacy and buy a regular leucoplasty. Your task - tickleBy defending the crack from dust, dirt and water. Therefore, the particles that fell inside the defect will not be effectively eliminated by it.

If you are our client, then can use branded scotch (round shape), which will be pasted on your glass on the inside. It can be used to stick the chip in the shock.

Passed the crack? Now sit back into the car and go urgently on the service!

There master under pressure will cover the damaged area special composition Based on polymers to fill damage.

The next stage of processing is to dry the composition of a special lamp so that the polymer is frozen by hardening the glass. In order to hide the traces of intervention, apply glass polishing. This method works if the area of \u200b\u200bdamage is up to 3 cm.

If cracks are more serious, the wizard will apply a non-separation drilling of glass in the place where the cracker beam ends - this will prevent the defect growth. Only then the polymer composition will be applied on the glass and then according to the algorithm.

IMPORTANT:

- Do not tighten with damaged glass repair. The first 3 days is the optimal period for recovery, and it is better to correct the problem immediately. If you delay, achieve good result It will be very difficult.

While ride with missed damage, try not to use brushes cleaners, To the crack did not get a small garbage and dust.

- Do not use heating or blowing windshield, In order not to create the temperature difference inside and outside the glass - this can lead to an increase in the defect.

"It is worth trying to" repair "the glass alone. Only a quick response according to the principle "stuck with scotch" - addressed to those skilled in the art "will save your glass.

The fact is that in the councils, how to remove the crack on the windshield independently, the procedures are described, which only scroll the surface of the chip dust (wipe damage to manually or tissue, etc.) - and then even the service for repairing the auto drain will not help return Details Initial view and functionality.

Among all parts of the car body are most vulnerable place is the windshield. It is precisely it most often suffers from damage to a different nature. And from these troubles, no one is in fact insured. It even happens that with the most careful ride there are defects that annoy the driver, glance in the sun and refracted the light in the evening, interfere with a normal review, give a car a non-welltic appearance and, in the end, it is simply impossible to pass the inspection with them.

Where do chips and cracks come from on the windshield? What are they and is it possible to repair cracks on a car with your own hands? These questions often ask drivers who are faced with such an unpleasant problem. It is for them that specialists have prepared a number of recommendations on all these issues.

It should be understood that wind windows are made on advanced technology and are called triplex. The difference with the usual is that triplex is a few stalk glued together with a special polymer film, pressing when heated. The result is a resistant mechanical impact, heat-resistant glass, which, even with strong blows, does not fall apart for hundreds of fragments, and is covered by a network of the smallest defects that are similar to a cobweb.

Such windows are installed on auto manufacturers. If the glass is changed and at the same time to buy low-quality products, which may be unreasonably low, the probability of obtaining defects increases at times. However, in fact, and in another case it exists.

The main reasons for the appearance of defects on the windshield are:

- entering flying from the wheels of other cars of small gravel, rubble or spikes;

- deformation of the body, which may appear as a result of blows, poor-quality repairs with a violation of geometry, systematic parking lots on the border, quick riding on an uneven road or koldobin especially on a car with a rigid suspension;

- Strong cooling in the heat, frost, attempt to get rid of glass icing with boiling water and other cases resulting in sharp temperature differences.

Types of chips and cracks on the windshield of the car

The following types of defects distinguish: simple chips, one-sided cracks with damage only to the outer layer, through cracks, bewayum or, as they are also called, "stars", as well as combined. Especially vulnerable places are the areas of blowing the heater or air conditioning and in several centimeters from the edge. As for the small stones flying in a glass, spikes and other items, it is impossible to provide anything in advance - this appears at the point in the glass.

If the slightest damage is found, experts recommend immediately conducting measures to prevent falling into the damaged water or dirt. This is done by sticking to the damage of transparent tape. If still moisture got, it is better to ride a few days in dry weather or blame damage by the usual fan, and then stick to the tape.

The fact is that if this is not done, then the moisture falling into the damaged place, which is deployed deep into the uneven edges and is very seriously washed out, which subsequently leads to a sharp increase in labor costs during repairs. Some "craftsmen" are trying to repair on the windshield, not paying attention to the presence of moisture in the damage zone. This is not categorically impossible, because after the seal and, it would seem normal external viewThe moisture will gradually begin to evaporate, leaving numerous emptiness that will be clearly visible. And they can already be eliminated. Outcome - Replacing the windshield.

Repair of chips

It is obvious that chips, especially small on the triplex are repaired easier for cracks. For this, inexpensive repair kits are sold in auto shops. The chip seal is carried out as follows, the remaining smallest glass fragments are removed in the first stage. For this purpose, the included rod, ordinary blade, pin or vacuum cleaner is applied. Then careful cleaning and drying place of damage is carried out. After preparatory activities, filling the place of the chip special composition. This uses a bridge with an injector. It is installed exactly above the sole, the injector with the filler is attached and the polymer composition is introduced into the chip cavity.

And its introduction is carried out cyclically - injection and pumping, again injection and pumping. Such cyclic administration of the composition provides air removal and its complete substitution with a polymer. Control for the presence of emptiness is better carried out with a good, powerful flashlight. At the last stage, dismantling device, drying under the right rays of the sun or with UV lamp, removal of leakage of polymer surplus and cleaning with a conventional cleaner.

All repairs takes no more than 30-40 minutes. As a result, due to the frozen polymer composition, which turned into a kind of laminating film, ideally corresponding to the optical properties of the glass itself, small chips and even "stars" become practically invisible.

Cracked repair on the windshield

Seeling cracks on the windshield with their own hands is similar to the repair of the chip, but is a matter of more painstaking requiring certain skills. All repairs should be carried out in a closed room in several stages.

1. Removal of voltage. If you do not immediately remove the voltage from the crack, then it may increase. It is the question of how to stop the crack on the windshield, is key when repaired. Therefore, at first at its ends, which diverge from the place of the chip, neatly a special drill with a diamond drill of about 0.8 mm drove small holes. Their depth is determined by the depth of the defect itself. It usually comes to the middle of the first layer, but can be deeper. After obtaining thin holes in the drilling places, artificial chips are made. For this, any sharp items are used, for example, a needle from a sewing machine.

Upon completion of these manipulations, smooth chips are obtained, having a conical shape, on which the crack stops and does not go further. Such a measure can be used as temporary, to the main repair. However, the probability of distribution during the further operation of the car still exists. And if this happened, re-drilling is required.

2. Thorough cleaning of damage and drying places. Moisture must be completely removed.

3. Repair of the chip in the place of primary impact on the method described above - using the bridge and the injector.

4. Pouring a damaged place. For the introduction of the polymer, you can use an applicator with an injector and a pump by creating pressure, but you can do without it. The main thing is to fill in so that there are no imported cavities. For this, the viscosity of the composition is selected in place so that it is easy to fill. At the same time, a small mechanical impact on the glass is created on the inside. It is also used to warm the damaged place from the inside. As a result, the capillary effect arises and the composition more effectively fills a defective place.

5. Final stage - drying, cleaning, grinding. Moreover, for grinding glass, which is a rather labor-intensive operation, you can contact the auto-operator.

Several visual examples of the effective repair of cracks should be repaired.

In conclusion, it should be dwelling on the question of how to reduce the likelihood of the appearance of defects in the windshield.

- smoothly adjust the heating capacity of windshield in the frost;

- Do not direct the flow of cold air from the air conditioning system on the glass heated in the sun;

- in cases of the need to replace windshield to choose only as much as possible products, better original;

- in cases of fixing shocks in the glass, immediately stop and carefully examine the surface for the detection of even the smallest chips;

- avoid driving around the area or by poor-quality roads, especially on sedans with a rigid suspension;

- Keep the highest possible distance from ahead of the walking transport, especially from a freight or with the "sh" sign.

Recently, in order to further protect the windshield, its encapsulation is carried out - equipping an additional plastic frame. But this is a completely different story ...
