Before repairing damage point, please be sure to always observe the following information:
- A workplace without UV radiation should be available, otherwise it can result in paint adhesion problems of the filler resin or finish resin.
- The windshield temperature must be between 10 °C an d 25 °C to repair the stone marks; if applicable, heat or cool down windshield with suitable methods. Otherwise it can result in paint adhesion problems of the filler resin or finish resin.
- Only damage on the outside window surface may be repaired.
- Damages to the inside of the windshield or to the plastic laminate are not permitted.
- Ensure that moisture has not penetrated into the damaged point (seal damage point immediately after damage using adhesive tape and repair it as soon as possible).
- The diameter of the chip should not exceeded 5 mm.
- Any radial cracks extending from the damage point should not exceed 50 mm. They should not end at the rubber window seal and never reach to the outer edge of the window.
- This repair method can be used only when the damaged point is outside the driver's long-range field of vision.
After repair, a spot of approx. 2 mm in diameter can still be seen.
