Windshield repairs are only used on laminated windshields, this is a type of windshield with a plastic layer sandwiched in between the layers of glass preventing the glass from shattering.

Cracked Windshield
|
Windscreen repairs are for the repair of laminated glass only. It isn't essential to determine if the windscreen is laminated, if it is chipped or cracked it must be laminated, the older toughened windscreen does not chip; they simply shatter into thousands of pieces.
The repair process works by injecting a liquid acrylic resin into the damaged glass. The resin acts as a sealant filling in any air pockets that may be in the cracked area of the windshield. The resin is then cured by the use of long wave ultra violet light.
