These damages can result from road conditions, sudden temperature changes, accidents, or wear over time. Identifying the type of damage and acting quickly is essential to prevent worsening and maintain the integrity of the vehicle.

Common windscreen damage and quick solutions

Caused by small stones or objects. Typically resolved by applying special resins that fill and seal the damage, preventing it from spreading.
Short cracks
Usually outside the driver’s line of sight. Repairable if they are within a few centimeters and not in critical areas.
Superficial scratches
