Problems With DIY Windshield Repair

There are a number of manufacturers that produce and market windshield repair kits for the do-it-yourselfer. While it is possible to successfully use these kits to make a repair, there are a number of problems with these kits. The primary problem is that the kit cannot provide a professional assessment of the damage to the windshield. Though some chips and cracks are minor, others are quite serious and structurally weaken the glass. This means that the safety features of the glass are compromised and passengers in the vehicle could be at risk.

When using a DIY kit, care must be used to prevent further damage. While enough pressure must be used to fill the break with resin, too much pressure can make the crack larger. DIY kits can also fail to properly fill a crack, which can then expand and become worse. DIY kits may also leave excess residue that the windshield wipers will hit, creating an annoying bumping sound. The primary reason that people want to use a DIY kit is to save money. However, most insurance policies cover repair services and professional repair services are more affordable than many people believe.
