What is windshield chip repair?

Windshield chip repair (WCR) is a process that injects a special clear adhesive resin into a small crack or break in a windshield. The damaged area’s strength is restored to prevent any cracks from spreading; in fact it’s guaranteed not to spread! The clarity is also improved at least 85%.


Why repair a windshield?
Repairing (instead of replacing) a windshield is environmentally friendly. Thousands of damaged windshields are needlessly replaced every year, ending up in our landfills. Repairing a windshield will save it from the landfill!

  • Repairs save money by preventing the need for a more costly replacement. Replacing a windshield on a modern car or SUV will cost hundreds of dollars, even more if it has an antenna, defroster or rain sensor built in to it.
  • Repairs are very convenient taking less than an hour.
  • Repairs are safer than replacement because the glass is never removed and the original factory seal is maintained.

What kind of damage can be repaired?
Chips can be repaired up to about the size of a 50 cent piece. Best results are obtained when the damage is repaired right away, before it gets contaminated from moisture and rain and road grime. It’s also better to get it done before the damage spreads.
