Please post your experience with which brand kit you used and the results. Today going home a rock flew from i dont know where since there were no other cars around me lol and hit my window. Left to small nicks. In the middle of the windshield and its really bothering me. I heard there are several DIY kits out there that inject resin in to the crack and usually fix it completely if not making it 90 percent better.

I heard super glue is supposed to work....seriously, no joke.


that or your insurance should be able to take care of it....

I didn't even know this was possible for chips, had the same thing happen to me last week, the county has stripped the highway for what reason IDK, but they didn't sweep that well afterwards, and rocks were flying everywhere.

You can stop the spread of the crack, but you will never get the structural stability back, without replacing the window.

in Cali? I can tell you where it came from - some douchebag with a 12 inch lift and no mudflaps.

Okay so i got a repair kit from kragens but being a dumb ass i did it while it was cloudy and not sunny and i guess it uses the ultravioilet light from the sun to cure. When i was done it was still liquid so just wiped it off with a rag and going to buy another kit tomorrow and try again.

Have you asked your insurance company? Mine will do chips and I also know that the local glass shops will usually do them cheap.

my dad owns a windshield repair company in va i think he has kits to do it yourself i will ask he next time i talk to him, but i do know that ..

1. It cost $50 buck for him to do it.
2. It cant be bigger the a half dollar and if its cracked then its no go.
3. It it wicked easy to do it.
