Why A Windshield Chip Or Crack Is Still Slightly Visible After Being Filled
Why Can You Still See a Crack or Chip After it Was Repaired?
When a windshield repair is done, a small amount of clear resin is injected into the chip or star. This simply fills up the crack or chip with a material that helps prevent it from cracking further. It does not disguise or hide the damage. There is no product that will do that. This is the reason why you need to replace your windshield if the damage is in your line of vision while driving.
Why Should You Repair the Windshield if the Damage is Still Visible?
Repairing a crack or chip helps to prevent that crack or chip from growing in size. It does not hide the flaw in your glass. If you decided not to repair a crack, the crack would grow as glass expands and contracts in hot and cold temperatures.
