Stone Chip Repair from West Clearbook, Abbotsford

We recently completed a stone chip repair for a client from West Clearbrook in Abbotsford. This type of repair is a specialized process designed to restore the integrity and clarity of the windshield without the need for a full replacement.

Our first step was to thoroughly assess the damage. Stone chips can vary in size and depth, so a careful examination is crucial to determine the best repair approach. Once we evaluated the chip, we proceeded with the repair process.

The repair began by opening the impact point, which is essential for creating an effective entry point for the resin. This step is vital as it ensures that the resin can fully penetrate and bond with the glass. After preparing the impact point, we meticulously cleaned the area to remove any debris or contaminants. This cleaning is critical to ensure that the resin adheres properly.

Next, we installed the repair bridge directly over the crack. The repair bridge is a specialized tool that stabilizes the glass and allows for precise resin injection. Once in place, we injected the repair resin into the crack. This resin is designed to mimic the strength and clarity of the glass, effectively sealing the crack.

After ensuring the crack was completely filled with resin, we removed the repair bridge. An additional amount of repair resin was then applied on top of the filled area. This resin was exposed to UV light to cure it, a process that solidifies the resin and bonds it securely to the glass.

Once the resin was fully cured, we scraped it back and forth until it was flush with the glass surface. This step is crucial for restoring the smoothness and clarity of the windshield.

To finish, we polished the repaired area to enhance its translucency, blending it seamlessly with the rest of the windshield. Finally, we cleaned the entire windshield, leaving it not only repaired but also clear and streak-free.

This meticulous stone chip repair process at Sumas Auto Glass reflects our commitment to quality and attention to detail, ensuring our clients can drive away with a windshield that's as good as new.
