What can be repaired?

There are many types of glass on the market but only laminated glass can be repaired. Laminated glass is the process of taking two sheets of glass and fusing them together with a clear sticky plastic sheet in between them. When an object hits this type of glass, it will leave it intact and just break the outside layer of glass. Windshields and some back windows in automobiles are laminated. So, when a small rock makes contact with a windshield, it may leave what is called a star break, the most common type of damage. These are typically 1-1/2 inches in diameter or smaller. If the rock makes contact within 3 inches from the edge of the windshield, these breaks will commonly spread into a running line or crack. The Windshield Doctor Repair Kits are capable of repairing such damage. Using strong resins made for glass, a crack can be repaired leaving just a trace of the damaged area. A properly repaired crack will look like a fine scratch on the windshield.
