Repairing Your Honda Windshield

Your Honda windshield is a critical component of your car’s structure.  If you have a small crack or chip in your Honda’s windshield, it may be possible to have it repaired rather than replaced. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about Honda windshield repair, including the benefits of repair, when to consider a repair, and how to choose a reputable and experienced auto glass company to handle the job.

Benefits of a Honda Windshield Repair

There are several benefits to choosing windshield repair over replacement for your Honda. Here are just a few of the top reasons to consider repair:

  • Cost: Windshield repair is typically a more cost-effective solution than replacement. Repair is generally less expensive than replacement, especially if the damage is caught early on and is still small.
  • Time: Windshield repair is typically a quick process, with most repairs taking less than an hour to complete. In contrast, windshield replacement is a more involved process that can take several hours to complete.
  • Environment: Repairing your car’s windshield, rather than replacing it, keeps another windshield out of the landfill. Windshields are difficult to recycle due to an interlayer of polyvinyl. Some companies recycle windshields, but many do not.

When to Consider a Honda Windshield Repair

There are several instances when you might wish to choose windshield repair over replacement for your Honda. Here are just a few of the top reasons to consider repair instead of replacement:

  • Damage Severity: If the rock chip or crack is smaller than a quarter, your windshield may be eligible for repair.
  • Damage Location: If this chip or crack is outside the sweep of the driver’s windshield wiper, the damage may be eligible for repair.

Choosing an Auto Glass Repair Shop for Your Honda

You’ll want to select a shop that has technicians who are specifically trained in windshield chip and crack repair. The repair process is different from the replacement process. However, many technicians who are trained in replacement are also trained in repair.

There are two important aspects of windshield repair to note:

  1. Repairs are meant to keep the damage from spreading.
    Repairs are not meant to reduce the visual appearance of the damage. Well-trained pros might be able to reduce the visual appearance of the damage, but it’s not guaranteed.
  2. There is always the chance of windshield failure during the repair process.
    Due to the pressures exerted on the windshield during the repair process, the windshield damage may spread. This would require the windshield to be replaced. Although rare, even trained professionals cannot always prevent this from occurring.

How Much Does Honda Windshield Repair Cost

As stated previously, windshield repair is more economical than a windshield replacement. Average repair estimates for a single chip or small crack typically range between $60-$120. Many repair companies offer discounts to repair multiple chips or cracks during the same appointment. Costs to repair an additional chip or small crack typically range between $25-$50 each.

Honda Windshield Repair: The Process

Now that we have covered the benefits of repair, let’s delve into the actual process of Honda windshield repair.

The first step in the process is to thoroughly assess the damage to your windshield. The technician will examine the size, location, and depth of the crack or chip to determine whether a repair is possible. They will also consider the type of damage and the best repair method.

If the technician determines that a repair is possible, they will begin by cleaning the area around the damage. This is important to ensure that the resin can bond properly with the glass. Next, they will inject the resin into the crack or chip using a special tool. The resin is designed to fill in the damaged area and restore the structural integrity of the windshield.

After the resin has been injected, the technician will typically use a curing light to harden the resin. The curing light uses UV light to activate the resin and help it bond with the glass. This process typically takes just a few minutes.

Once the resin has been cured, the technician will carefully inspect the repair to ensure that it has been completed to the highest standard. They will also provide you with any necessary instructions or recommendations for maintaining the integrity of the repair.

 

The process of a Honda windshield repair is generally quick and cost-effective, and it can help prevent the damage from spreading and requiring a full windshield replacement. By following the proper repair procedures, you can help ensure that your Honda’s windshield is repaired properly and that you and your passengers are protected on the road.
