Windscreen Repair Kits-Safety and windscreen repair standards

High quality windscreen repair kits can have a positive impact in saving a windscreen from being replaced unnecessarily.Preserving ADAS (Safety Technologies) is the spearhead for raising the bar in windscreen repair outcomes. 

If a windscreen is replaced it may result in the factory fitted windscreen being disturbed including the ADAS safety system resulting in the vehicle needing to be recalibrated. 

The GT Smart windscreen repair kit metal injector as pictured above with its plastic counterpart. Other than the price difference of £300 against £3.00 the mechanics of the repair systems are completely different. 

The metal GT Smart windscreen repair kit injector removes air before pressure is applied making a repair outcome quicker (10 to 15 minutes) with a better repair outcome.

The plastic injector does not remove the air first and applies a pressure cycle in the first instance. The metal injector does not leak resin which also means that the vacuum is consistent where as the plastic injector leaks resin, thus leaks air! 

A plastic injector repair system will take around 20 to 25 minutes to complete

Q.If you are working on a £50k vehicle which would you go with? Q.The £3.00 option or the £300 option?

A.That may depend on whether your core buisness is windscreen replacement or windscreen repair.
