Windshield Repairs

Cheap windshield repair tools equals inferior rock chip repairs! At NY Prestige, one of the most important factors we consider when repairing a windshield repair is to make sure you remove all the air from the break. This is done during the vacuum cycle of the repair. Vacuum is measured in inches of mercury 29-30 is a perfect vacuum. Our windshield repair injectors pull a perfect vacuum. Some of our competitors use cheap plactic injectors that will pull a vacuum of around 5 to 10 inches of mercury. The result is poor air evacuation resulting in black air pockets left in the repair. More air left in the damage equals weak windshield repairs.

Flexing A Windshield Repair

Sometimes when you get a stone break in your windshield there could be more damage than what appears. At NY Prestige, we examine a repair and always gently flex the glass with a probe. Alot of times the cracks that might have not been visible will show up, then I make sure they all get filled with resin. If you leave one crack unfilled you might as well have not done the repair at all because it still has the potential of spreading further.

Windshield Repair Resin Shelf Life

Windshield repair resin goes bad over time thats why we never use resin that is over one year old to insure our customers the best products on market. infact we go through our product so fast our chemical is never over six months old.
