How PVB Interlayers Affect Windshield Repairability

Key Takeaways

• ✓The PVB interlayer represents the absolute limit of repair capability - penetration mandates replacement
• ✓Understanding three-layer construction helps assess whether damage is confined to repairable outer glass layer
• ✓Visual indicators like white hazing, delamination, and inner surface involvement reveal interlayer penetration
• ✓Professional assessment with specialized lighting and magnification determines true penetration depth
• ✓Laminated construction that makes windshields safe also creates distinct repair limitations based on layer involvement
