Just sharing the pictures of before and after the treatment.

Before


After



p/s :(not promoting any shop ok, dun ask me about the shop )

eheh.. but ppl might ask u since so many stones hit the windscreen..

i had a stone size of a 50cent hitting my wind screen b4, lucky didnt crack.. but left a chip

so.. how much did it cost u to repair?

erm how they got it fixed?

RM60

The post you entered in was too short. You must have at least 10 character(s) in your post before it will get posted

bro, mind telling me which shop? mine is also same like urs, if not appropriate to post their shop name u can pm me.

actually they said german got one technology to "pump" chemical into your cracked part of windscreen
each "pump" costs you around RM50, i think

I can tell u the name of the shop in PM no prob wan.
Another thing to note (according to the shop fellow), once you got the crack, you need to do the treatment ASAP. Say like in 1 day. The longer you take to fix it, the not "nicer" it will be. Anyway, you can ask the shop fellow to explain more for you.

bro can pm me the shop name and add oso? coz i oso kena ady but i think mine too long liao.. early this year till now.. like one rice size of crack like urs...

How they did that?does it affect your tinted glass?Mine also need treatment..The line getting longer and longer

They basically drill a hole (tiny) on the crack, and inject some kind of liquid and leave it under UV. Something like that la. :-)
I am not sure about tinted glass, i guess, should be able to do also la. I think as long as you crack is not like massive, the treatment can be done. Oh yeah, usually if the crack you leave it, the line will get longer for sure.

What i mean is when they are repairing your windscreen,did they damage your tinted glass?

Errr...mine is not tinted.

pm me the shop address also, for in case my car wind shield smash by stone also and able to repair immediately...

but any side effect by doing this? example repaired parts weaker ?

basically, you have to retint your windscreen cause they going to drill a tiny hole to repair the crack.

Side effect im not sure ler bro, but i definitely think that it would be stronger than leaving the crack as it is.

go for arcylic !

wah so cheap.. pm me the shop add

I think i should take a little commission from the shop. Keke

where is the shop ? i wanna do mine too

he has already pm me the location of that shop. thanks bro

Not really, they will fix it from outside of your windscreen, so you don't need to re-tint. I done mine without re-tint.
And the price they quote is base on the length of the crack, and they give warranty too, dunno 5 years or half year, can't really remember, have to check back. But not sure whether is it the same shop that TS went. The one I went is located at PJ area, same roll with a well known banana leaf rice restaurant.

Some idiot threw a stone and hit my dad's car long ago. The whole windscreen gone, damage was RM400 i think. You're very lucky..

that one is purposely ppl do one ma ! Insurance cant cover!?!

While he's driving on highway.. He have to stop halfway lor. Dunno why he din claim insurance then..

not serious no need claim lo!

that case is serious. why do ppl like to do that?? which area ur dad's car being thrown by stone back then??

I think I know the side effect, you would get some weird colours after some time on the screen, some rainbow colour thingy when viewed under different angle, like soap water.

if this happen .. then afterall , the things that they inject is just a chemical produce by the lab lor.. is just a glass look alike things in small quantity..

Oww, that crack is kinda big to me. Mine is just a slight small crack (inside crack), but I didn't bother to repair it since it is unvisible unless you go near.

insurance don't cover vandalism, too bad

even a tiny hole u should consult the pros. scared later it would turn bigger

nice ~ technology really help us out ~ previously we need to replace entire mirrior which cost us a bom

good sharing dude

remember puchong tesco area when u need to repair one

any shops that do the same treatment around damansara utama or ss2?

Not sure about that area bro.

If damage is not on purpose, the loss is still payable. As consumer, the duty is to proof the loss and then it is up to the insurer to determine whether loss is payable or not. If not, insurer will have to give reason why and the onus shift back to consumer to proof otherwise.

Well, for windscreen you can get separate windscreen cover for your comprehensive policy by paying an extra premium. If the windscreen is broken/chipped you can still claim from the insurer. However, if no extra premium is paid but you still intend to make a claim, the downside is that you lose your NCD.

roughly where d location of the shop?

i faced this problem hit by tiny stone as well..
gosh.. wasted RM40 to fix the windscreen,thy just glued the CALAR..around 5cm..
next time better buy windscreen insurance n claim it guys.. dont save those $$ ..sometimes its diff 2 anticipate tragedy or accident.

bro,

can pm me the address ka ??

mine also got crack from inside lar...

crack from inside? how come?

Hahaha, maybe "accdident" by doing some "extreme" sport in the car.

Anyway TS, I want to know the shop details also, pls PM. Good to keep it handy for myself or friends. I just changed mine about a month ago. KNN, the stone hit the corner, cannot repair and the crack grow day by day, from 1in to 10in, RM420 bye bye.

yeah it is highly advisable to do it.....do not be stingy on this.
but im not sure how much protection does the insurance cover for the windscreen.

side note: for new civic owners, please get it insured...the main glass itself cost a bomb i was told.....original glass cost about 2k insured value, not sure if it covers tinting or not, need to find out. even my dad's camry glass was only 900....wtf 2000 for civic.

It's quite expensive to pay RM60 to fix the windscreen.

My 2 cents:
Just buy a super glue to glue the part that got hit! If the crack is too big, then change windscreen lo......

hmm i saw a ''thing'' in ACE hardware summit, its DIY repair windscreen chips,bulleye,etc etc
but no price on it so i dunno how much,

this is like autoglass in uk

see how the process works.

Mine also kena stone. I bought insurance for windscreen but i didnt insure my tinting so not enough to cover for a new windscreen + tinting.
So i sent it to fix at the panel for Tokio Marine insurance. The "glass mechanic" shop is opposite pelita in SS2. They will do the claims, etc for you cos they are panel.

Berapa RM??

I've read the procedure to fix minor windscreen crack/chips in the newspaper few weeks back. Apparently they use resin to fill the cracks. According to the article, they can still see the resin upon close inspection. However, for the price they are charging, i think it's good investment if the windscreen can last few more years.

Oh ya, after they fix it, the spot has a small rain drop size of cloudy area. But at least cheaper than changing a new tinting.
Honda service center suggest buy insurance for tinting as well when renew my insurance next year.

Added on December 11, 2007, 5:40 pmHi guys, i just read through the thread and noticed that i might have made a mistake but im not sure.
Is it wrong to put the name of the shop i went to in my previous post? should i remove it?

This post has been edited by bleeper: Dec 11 2007, 05:40 PM

i think some ppl got it done and it look like normal...no cloudy or anything

Yalor.. i ask why like that.. they say cos my crack too deep.
And also i waited about 2 months to repair it la cos i was overseas.

They will drill your windscreen, but not drill thru. Normally windscreen got 2 glass attached together, they only drill gently, so only outside one is affected, your tinted inner windscreen wont get any effect...
