What happens if the windscreen cracks further after repair?

Is the repair permanent?
The repair is designed to be permanent, but the long-term durability depends on various factors, including the type and severity of the damage, and the environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Resin not filling the crack or chip completely
Ensure the applicator is properly sealed and that the resin is being injected slowly and evenly. Clean the area again and repeat the process.
Cured resin appears cloudy or uneven
Ensure the area is protected from direct sunlight during curing. If the issue persists, the damage may be too severe and professional repair may be needed.
