Windscreen Stone Chip? A Quick Repair in Malaysia Can Save Your Windscreen | MyMechanic
That loud 'CRACK' sound is unmistakable. A stone kicked up by a truck on a Malaysian highway has left a chip in your windscreen. It may seem small, but that chip is a weak point that can quickly spread into an unrepairable crack. MyMechanic offers a mobile windscreen chip repair service to fix the problem on the spot, saving you from a costly replacement.
Why You Must Repair a Stone Chip Immediately
It's tempting to ignore a small chip, but this is a mistake. The integrity of the glass has been compromised.
Vibrations and Bumps: Every bump and pothole on the road puts stress on the glass, encouraging the chip to spread.
Temperature Changes: The biggest enemy is thermal shock. Washing your car with cool water on a hot day, or even just the difference between the air-conditioned interior and the hot Malaysian sun, can cause the chip to crack and run.
Cost-Effectiveness: A resin repair is a fraction of the cost of a full windscreen replacement, especially for modern cars with built-in cameras and sensors that require expensive recalibration.
The On-the-Spot Resin Injection Process
Our mobile service means we come to you—at your hotel, a rest stop, or any safe location. The repair process is quick, clean, and highly effective.
Cleaning and Preparation: The technician carefully cleans all microscopic glass fragments and debris from the impact crater.
Creating a Vacuum: A special tool is mounted over the chip, creating a vacuum that removes all air from within the break.
Injecting the Resin: A high-quality, clear optical resin is injected under pressure, completely filling every tiny crack and fissure.
Curing with UV Light: A UV lamp is placed over the repair, hardening the resin and bonding it to the glass. This restores the windscreen's strength and clarity.
When Can a Chip Be Repaired?
Most common stone chips can be successfully repaired, but there are limitations.
Good Candidates: 'Bullseye' or 'star-shaped' chips that are smaller than a 50-cent coin are typically ideal for repair.
Poor Candidates: Long, single-line cracks, chips on the very edge of the windscreen, or damage that is directly in the driver's primary line of sight are often not suitable for repair and will require a full replacement.
Our technician will assess the damage first and advise you on the best course of action.
