Windshield Repair Myths

Good question. Windshield crack repair equipment varies widely among companies. High quality resins, injections and air removal methods vary from company to company and can affect the finished repair. Quality injection units and high quality resins are as important as the technicians performing the crack repairs. The quality resins create stronger bonds and resist yellowing better than inexpensive resins. Quality injection equipment will remove more air and the injection capabilities provide a higher quality crack repair.

Check your vehicle engine, belts, brakes, fluids, windshield wipers, lights and mirrors. Carry extras in your vehicle incase a blinker goes out, or a windshield wiper malfunctions while you are traveling.

A new windshield wont come cheap, it can cost as much as $300, and in some cases more. It will be time consuming and you will be without your vehicle for a few days, and very often once the new windshield is set, the vehicle can't be driven for a day or two.

Remember, you are only there to drop off a flyer (that is what you want them to perceive and believe).

If you are hesitant in choosing a total windshield replacement because of the cost, you may want to consider having it repaired instead. From an environmental standpoint, the amount of energy it takes to make one windshield is the same as repairing 10,000. In terms of CO2 emissions, repair only accounts for a third of the total amount it takes to produce one windshield. One solution is having the windshield repaired instead of being replaced. There are several products on the market which can help hold the broken pieces together and prevent the damage from getting worse. However, there is only so much you can do with a damaged windshield.

It's the same thing with a windshield. Why would anyone want to repair a windshield which is the only thing that protects you from oncoming objects to your face? Having a solid windshield in your car rather than a repaired one is probably safer and to me makes more sense.

The engine on the wiper heats up or has a strange humming sound: This could possibly be brought about by damage or even a bent linkage. If so, repair or change the linkage. Another reason could be is the fact that the arms ended up being improperly installed at the linkage pivots. Just position the linkage in park and then reinstall the wiper arms. Basic!
