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?
Phillip Thompson
January 16, 2017
By Phillip Thompson
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

Got link where to buy ?? I see shopee one few k 5 star but 1 star also few k say fake

Got sos ?

if u just buy 1 item, might as well straight buy from mr DIY.
shoppe might be cheaper, but need to add shipping fees.

the price macam decent wo, my car windscreen usual price 1300, they priced it at total 1150

if next year I renew insurance with with windshield coverage. Can I claim next year but my windshield already cracked?

Got free shipping min spend 0. Shoppee alot fake one idk which is real. Not all DIY have that product

the DIY is for crack and not for chip

it will glue the crack together. but u need be careful not to ketuk the place again.

I know 1 fella had a crack near the rear mirror there, then he fill back. Then he sent his car to pasang dashcam and the crack reappeared.

Yes, i did mine, was cracked for few years, never bother to repair since seldom using the car, but since its already fully paid and ncd max, i just bought the windshield coverage and send to Dr Cermin, they help me to claim and repair

i got 2 spot kena like dis, but not deep and not that visible

yes . thank you . want do like that too on the next renewal. Renew on November and try claim on January next year

The 2nd chip cracked really in front of my driving sight. Bother me when driving. Tried the cheap solution but it seem no working at all

This is an example that it's usually the customer who cheat insurance companies and not the other way around.

oh this one common is trick ya?
I thought only me think like this

It's a given, and thanks for not getting triggered, it wasn't my intention, it's just to point of a common misconception in /k.

if can wait for shipping ok la.
my recommendation for chipped screen is depending on damage, best is to repair ASAP b4 the crack spread.

MrDIY got.

I see your point.
But in my case luckily when I did(bought the kit at MrDIY), it was flawless. Pretty good job I think I did.
It wasn't my car. Just bored and I drove his car sometimes so got irritated.
Anyway, it was back in 2019. I don't know how the car is now. Shit can't even remember which car was it.
Hopefully my fix still holding up.

either you know (with confidence) to DIY or dunno .. it might look simple, remember, youtube videos all show how easy cause they do it all the time d mar (who wants to show their failure?)

if you know - okie proceed diy

if dunno - bring to repair shop let them do

dont later rat fix pumpkin situation

Go to mr chermin...less than 80..and you get peace of mind

Go to glass mechanic In PJ area. Very professional windscreen repair

a bit only lah. next renew just include windscreen coverage and send your ride to windscreen shop after that. they know what to do.

technical answer is YES

BUT...there is a big but...provided your insurance company let u add-on windscreen
99% won't let u add-on directly, they will ask u to engage with customer service to add on and want u to submit lots of stuff
due to suspicion(insurance companies aren't stupid)

so if u found an insurance that let u add-on directly when renewing online
things to do is
1. don't claim directly...wait like 6 months
2. continue renew with them with windscreen add-on the following year....u don't get lucky twice

If out of the blues, you tell the insurance company that you wanna add windscreen coverage, they will ask you to bring the car in for inspection fist.

If you wait and add that when you renew your insurance, they will gladly add without any question.

I done this a few times with different cars/insurance companies.

i said the above because my car's windscreen was chipped last year(went to a few windscreen shop, all say unrepairable)
february this year my insurance is due...i plan to add-on windscreen to claim.....almost all insurance companies don't allow me to add on...all ask me to contact customer service
only etiqa allow me to renew with windscreen add-on...that was a major relieve
and i claim the windscreen last month and approved

so yeah...that's why i say i don't get lucky twice...next year am gonna continue add-on windscreen coverage

My trick is when i renew roadtax on November, i will add windscreen coverage. Waiting for 2-3month later like around January/Feb. Then i will claim.

I dont think insurance will check coz I'm using runner. But who know

it's still subject to approval

will check or not i don't know but for me, i'll continue adding the windscreen coverage the following year
and not only adding it when i needed to because i feel like i won't get lucky twice/the next time since it's a common thing/issue in WM
