Not sure this one called chip or star. Inside is smooth not damaged. I did put some tape inside asap as I could.


How much to repair at shop? Can recommend one around puncak alam/bandar saujana area?

Or just DIY? Seems there are many selling these less than rm20. Work or not?

Can a Cracked Windshield Shatter?

The short answer is yes, a cracked windshield can shatter. But there are several factors involved, and realize that using the word “shatter” may not be entirely accurate. Windshield glass is laminated, meaning it consists of two layers of glass with a thin plastic film between the layers. You may have heard it called “safety” glass, as its construction prevents the glass from breaking into more dangerous shards. It usually breaks into smaller pieces.

A cracked window screen has the potential to grow as the glass expands and contracts due to temperature fluctuations, pressure applied to the glass, an object striking the glass, or dirt introduced to the crack. Any of these factors could worsen the crack – which has already weakened the glass – and cause it to “shatter.”

But even if the glass does shatter, the likelihood of it collapsing into your vehicle or onto your hood, is unlikely. Windshields are held in place with strong urethane adhesives, which prevent leaks, noise and movement of the glass. Also, because the glass is laminated, the entire windshield generally won’t separate from the frame.

This doesn’t mean it’s safe to drive with a cracked windshield. Even a small crack on glass means your windshield’s structural integrity has been compromised, which means it is now a safety hazard to you and your passengers. Even if the crack or chip is small, it’s important to have it checked out. You’ll need a qualified auto glass technician to help you determine if the glass can be repaired or if it should be replaced.

It's a chip

Most of my cars got that on the windscreen

Everytime move to slow lane sure kena one..

Saya nampak jari awak

Mine bullet like chipped. No hair line crack. Wanted to repair, but lazy.

Use the diy kit better

I go shop do, 70+, after do looks the same as before

Some more the guy use lighter to burn my inside... Wtf

Oh. How it chipped?

i chipped my windscreen a couple of weeks ago and used the diy method; holding up well so far (fingers crossed!)

i used the generic one below because i feel that it covers more surface area:



a couple of tips if you're going the diy route:
(1) make sure to clean the crack THOROUGHLY to get the best possible fix, use a thumb tack to get as much debris and broken glass out of the crack as possible.
(2) when applying the resin in the cup, have a hair dryer handy and heat up the inside of the windshield in order to get the resin flowing to cover the micro cracks for a better application/result

Edit: the kit can be purchased at MRDIY for around RM17 if youre in a rush but on Shopee i got mine for RM10
