What happens if my windshield gets wet before mobile service?
Moisture can interfere with repair preparation. Keep the damaged area dry when practical so the technician can inspect and prepare it properly.

Types of windshield damage repaired
Windshield damage commonly appears as concentrated impacts, branching breaks, linear cracks, or multiple impact points.
A technician evaluates:
- Concentrated impact damage such as bullseyes and half-moon chips
- Branching damage such as star and combination breaks
- Linear cracks that remain within repairable limits
- Multiple impact points that require individual assessment
§ 03Field notes
Can your windshield be repaired?
A technician determines repairability by checking the damage size, depth, location, edge proximity, line of sight, glass condition, and number of impact points.
Deep fractures, edge damage, spreading cracks, heavy contamination, and damage in critical viewing areas can change the service recommendation. The inspection establishes whether the windshield supports repair or requires replacement.

How windshield repair works
Windshield repair uses clear resin to fill and stabilize eligible damage in laminated glass.
Inspect and prepare the damage: The technician examines the chip or crack and prepares the impact point for resin application.
Inject repair resin: The technician applies repair equipment and injects clear resin into the damaged area.
Cure and finish the repair: The technician cures the resin with UV light, finishes the surface, and checks the completed repair.
§ 05Field notes
What your windshield looks like after repair
Windshield repair stabilizes the damaged area and usually improves its appearance, but the original impact point can remain faintly visible.
The final appearance depends on the damage type, depth, age, and contamination present before service.

Windshield repair FAQs
Does windshield repair disturb the existing windshield seal?
Standard resin repair does not require windshield removal, so the installed windshield seal remains undisturbed.
Does a windshield chip repair require ADAS calibration?
Standard resin repair does not remove or reinstall the windshield, so it normally does not trigger calibration. The technician still checks the damage location when driver-assistance equipment sits near the affected area.
What should I do before the mobile technician arrives?
Park the vehicle where the technician has safe access to the windshield and enough working space around the vehicle.
What happens if someone already attempted to repair the chip?
The technician inspects the previous repair before recommending another service. Existing resin, contamination, or continued spreading can affect whether another repair remains suitable.
