What do you do in cold weather? Can you still get good repairs, or do you just close up shop and move south!
A week ago I had a windshield repair company come to fix a stone chip on my car. When he was finished the stone chip looked to have little black spots around it. I asked him what the black spots were, and he told me it was road contamination.? What is your opinion on this?
Kelly,
Black spots can show up in a repair for two reasons. The first reason can be contamination. It is important to fix a stone chip or crack as soon as possible from the date of damage. The longer you wait, the more chances you have for dirt and debris to lodge in the cracks. Another cause of black spots is when air gets trapped in the glass during a repair. This can happen when a repair tech does not take his or her time to vacuum all the air out of the break properly. Depending on the amount of time you waited to get your windshield fixed, you can probably guess which of the two reasons caused your black spots. Windshields that are repaired within a few days of damage and have a quality repairman on the job, can have a windshield that is clear. Typically, people would not even know there had been damage.
