Winter impact repairs: why do you have to act so quickly to repair a chip?
The chip on your windscreen can crack more quickly in winter temperatures.
The time between the day of the damage and the day of the repair is crucial to the final visual result.
Weather changes have an impact on and weaken the structure of the glass, which expands and contracts in response to these temperature changes.
How does a chip evolve into a crack?
An impact is a small hole in the glass. If water slips through and freezes, ice will form in the hole.
The hole will then become blocked and the ice will put pressure on the glass, causing it to crack!
What’s more, whether it’s sunny, rainy or cold, this hole will eventually fill up with the dust that settles on the windscreen, and this will also have the effect of blocking the micro-cracks in the impact.

Consequences on chip repair
During our work, we can only clean the impact hole on the surface.
If the micro-cracks are blocked, the resin will not be able to spread properly, resulting in a high-quality repair.
Moisture also causes delamination of the glass layers, which always starts with the surface hole. After repair, the delaminated area leaves a hazy effect in the transparency of the glass.

To avoid this and ensure optimum repair of the shine, it is preferable to take action as soon as the impact occurs. If this is not possible, it is essential to protect the surface hole of the impact with a piece of adhesive tape or a patch provided free of charge by Autogals Luxembourg.
Ask for your free patch to protect the shine of your windscreen.
Apply the patch to the outside of the chip to protect it from dirt until it is repaired.
In all cases, whatever the final visual result, an impact repair is always effective and prevents the windscreen from deteriorating further and ending up having to be replaced.
If an impact occurs in your field of vision, there’s no question about it: the windscreen has to be replaced.
The damaged area can be repaired under these conditions:
- The impact is no bigger than a 2 euro coin
- The impact is not in the field of vision

With each repair, we save around 10 – 15 kilograms of waste and 50 kg of CO₂.
Why replace when you can repair?
A simple repair is sometimes the best solution: cheaper, quicker and more environmentally friendly.
The car industry is one of the biggest causes of pollution in the world. Nevertheless, there are several ways of reducing automotive waste, including recycling.
However, the windscreen recycling process is not as simple as you might think. That’s why, wherever possible, windscreens should be repaired rather than replaced.
That way, you’ll cut down on car waste and help protect the environment.
