Not all windshield damage can be repaired. Generally, small chips smaller than a quarter and cracks shorter than six inches can be repaired.

During the repair process, the technician will clean the damaged area and remove any loose glass or debris. They will then inject resin into the damaged area and use curing lights to harden the resin. Once cured, they may polish the repaired area to improve clarity and visibility.
