It has been my experience that the small ones can sometimes be the toughest. I usually will put a bridge on them if they haven’t started to fill after just a few minutes. I take my BB Breaker and make it bigger some guys like to pop them with there probe. It’s what ever works best for you but the bottom line is you need to make it worse before it will get better.

Good Luck And Happy Repairing

Brian

Usually a very small hit and you'd think they'd be easier to fix.

As repair1 relates; they ain't. Pesky as a half-moon, in fact.

I use a needle to pop the small bullseye rather than a probe. (At least with my probe. It's too thick at the end and can easily chip the windshield.)

Don't forget to drill into it first, of course. (I assume you have been drilling those in the first place.)

See a previous post in re analyzing starbreaks. Specifically, using a magnifying glass.

I always pop a mini bullseye on these repairs.

Sounds like your injector may be to tight against the glass.

I agree with gaf. I would pop a small bullseye with a needle.

Maybe flexing the legs with the probe or some heat on the inside of the windshield.

Faith w/o action = 0

I rarely drill a hole in my repairs...

But with those pesky lil boogers you usually
will have to pop a small bulls eye.

Whenever I run across those tiny breaks like
that, I always drill and pop a bullseye. Just
makes life easier.
