When to Repair a Bullseye Impact on Your Windshield

Recognizing the early signs of windshield damage is essential to preventing further deterioration and ensuring safe driving.

Visible Chip or Crack: If you notice a circular, bullseye-shaped chip or crack on your windshield, it's a clear indication that immediate repair is needed.
Increased Size: Over time, you may observe the damage growing larger or cracks beginning to spread, signaling that the issue is worsening and should be addressed quickly.
Obstructed View: If the damage is located within your line of sight, it can compromise your visibility, making it dangerous to drive.
Temperature Fluctuations: Damage may worsen with temperature changes, causing cracks to spread further. This is a critical sign that repairs should be made before the damage becomes irreversible.
Sudden Impact: A recent impact, such as a rock strike or debris hitting the windshield, could leave a visible mark that requires prompt attention to avoid further damage.

By watching for these signs, you can take action early and prevent the need for more expensive repairs.

Our Windshield Bullseye Impact Repair Process

Our Windshield Bullseye Impact Repair Process ensures a precise, efficient, and lasting solution to restore the structural integrity and appearance of your damaged windshield.

Step 1

Inspect and Assess

To begin the repair, the technician thoroughly examines the bullseye chip or crack under proper lighting, often using a probe, mirror, or inspection light. This step is crucial to assess the damage’s size, depth, and contamination level, as well as to confirm if the break type is repairable.

Step 2

Clean and Dry the Impact Point

Next, the technician uses isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free towel to clean the pit and surrounding glass. This ensures all dirt, moisture, and debris are removed. If moisture is trapped in the damage, a moisture evaporator or gentle heat is applied to ensure dryness before the repair process begins.

Step 3

Drill and Open the Break (If Needed)

In cases where the bullseye damage features a sealed outer pit or crazing, the technician may need to carefully use a fine carbide drill bit to open the entry point. This creates a clear path for the resin to penetrate and fill the fracture.

Step 4

Mount the Bridge and Injector

The technician then positions a bridge assembly and suction cup precisely over the impact area. The injector body and seal are attached to create an airtight connection, ensuring proper resin injection during the repair.

Step 5

Vacuum and Pressure Inject the Resin

A vacuum is applied to remove any trapped air within the fracture. Following this, clear UV resin is pressure-injected into the bullseye chip, filling the pit and bonding to the glass structure. Multiple pressure cycles may be repeated to ensure the resin completely fills the damage.

Step 6

UV Cure the Resin

After the resin is injected, a UV curing lamp is positioned over the damaged area. The UV light hardens and polymerizes the resin, permanently bonding it to the glass and restoring the area’s structural integrity.

Step 7

Level, Scrape, and Polish

Once the resin has cured, the technician removes any excess resin using a razor blade scraper. The surface is then leveled and polished with a special glass polish or polishing pad to ensure a smooth, clear, and flush finish.

Step 8

Final Inspection and Documentation

Finally, the repair is closely inspected to ensure the optical clarity, smoothness, and complete resin fill are up to standard. The technician confirms that the bullseye chip is sealed, stable, and visually improved before completing the work order.
