Windshield Repairs Pittsburgh
Minor windshield chips can be repaired with the use of a vacuum injection device. The device injects a clear resin that fills in the damaged portion, removing the air while restoring the glass clarity. This device can only mend small chips, however, and cannot fill in large cracks—you must settle for a full replacement, if that is the case.
