Cleaning and drying the damaged area is followed by filling it with a transparent resin that has optical qualities that are almost equivalent to glass. The damage won’t go away altogether, but it will be significantly less obvious in most circumstances. The restored areas will be smooth and structurally sound, minimising the danger of further screen damage and wiper blade wear.
Small chips may expand and become unrepairable if left unchecked, as secondary cracks occur as a result of the combined effects of heat, moisture, frost, dirt, and vibration. Any debris or moisture that gets into the chip will make it more difficult to perform a repair that looks good.
Under the new standards, the repair zones for windscreens will be split into Zone A and Zone B. Zone A is the area 400mm wide area in front of the driver (500mm for HGVs and coaches) that is centred on the steering wheel with the top arc of the driver’s windscreen wiper. No repair of any type will be conducted in an area of the windscreen that supports, or supported, an aspect of ADAS technology.
Any damage to the camera area will require a replacement and subsequent ADAS calibration. In Zone A, if the damage is within a 20mm diameter circle then the technician can look to repair, and within Zone B, a repair can be carried out if the damage occurs with a 40mm circle.
