This paper presents analysis of different types of breaks in windshield and the repair process. Almost all windscreen damage can be attributed to stones or pebbles dislodged from tyres of vehicles in front, or simply drop from trucks carrying gravel. This object hit windscreen surface at great speed and the impact breaks the glass surface at the point of impact. Unfortunately, it may cause internal fracture of the glass, in which case a break occurs. The most common break one will see in windshield include: star shape, bullseye, round shape, cracks and combination breaks. These breaks cause blurred vision to drivers and can result in an accident. Replacing windshield is not cost effective and causes water linkages with time; hence repairing the crack becomes very necessary. To repair crack, resin with the same refractive index with the windshield is used. A follow-up paper will discussed the analysis of resins used in windshield repair.
