Tech Tip: Choosing the Right Bridge

When choosing the right bridge look for:

1. Must have an injector capable of filling every type of damage quickly and efficiently. While this seems obvious, one of the most common reasons for a bridge upgrade is due to dissatisfactory performance of a previous purchase.
2. When placed on the glass it must stay there. Again, this seems like a no-brainer, but the fact is bridges that attach to the glass with standard suction cups are prone to falling off before the repair is complete. Not only does this compromise the quality of the repair but may also damage the customer’s vehicle. It is important that the injector is not too heavy.
3. A good bridge is adjustable so damage to any part of the windscreen can be repaired without adapters. A bridge with a fixed or center mounted injector has very limited capabilities, but this fact is often overlooked when choosing your first injector.
4. Durability and ease of cleaning are significant. A simple design made of high-quality materials will require minimal maintenance and provide consistent performance. New technicians only the bells and whistles, not all the small parts that require frequent maintenance or replacement. Worse yet, an overly complicated design may malfunction in the middle of a repair.
5. Size matters, but in this case, bigger is not better, especially for mobile technicians. Many technicians use several bridges at one time, so a compact design is preferable. Large bulky bridges weigh you down and slow you down.

Okay, now for the most common question about Delta Kits windscreen repair bridges:

Question:

What are some differences between the Delta Kits B150 and B250 bridges?

Answer:

Both the B150 and B250 meet all the criteria above and are capable of repairing every type of damage anywhere on the glass, even right on the edge. Damage fills incredibly fast due to the low pressure hydraulic design that removes trapped air completely rather than using air pressure like vacuum first models. Both bridges easily adjust in all directions for perfect alignment to the impact point every time, even after affixing the bridge to the glass. Both models feature a stainless-steel and aluminum vacuum cup that will hold the bridge securely to the glass through a hurricane but easily remove with the  flip of a lever.

The B250 has been one of the best-selling windscreen repair bridges in the industry for over a decade. The three point design adjusts to various curved windscreen.
