Here is my newest video on how to repair a chipped windshield PERFECTLY!!!

Good video!.... A couple of tips I can give yo.... I was an Auto Glass installer for 43 years before I retired. I did chip repairs for over 30 When you are doing the chip repairs, make sure to wear Nitrile gloves all the time and never get the resin on you... A long the last, I developed an allergy to the resin and would break out in a rash. Bad Try using a single-edged, razor blade to scrape the dried resin from the glass.... Instead of using a "Slicing" motion (as shown in video) to remove resin, hold a single-edged razor blade at a 90% angle to the windshield and rub it back and forth, as if you were plaining down the excess resin....This will this process will make the repaired area even with the rest of the windshield... After you are done, use a little car wax to shine up the There is also a product you can use called"PIt Glaze" but car wax will do just as well.... After the area is polish, you may not even see the Hope this did a fine job repairing the WS on this and you offered no misleading for posting!

I just watched a crack in a windshield dissapear before my eyes. You inspire me, bro. You've shown me anything is possible if you put your mind to it

[shah.md.mostakim]

Applied your knowledge and fixed a tiny chip like this on my windshield more than a year back. Since then, no further problem. You are really a great DIY teacher

I already got the kit, now I just need to have a car and crack the window.

So I was a little skeptical at first that these cheap window chip repair kits were worth it but when you pulled off the yellow square I was legitimately blown away. Great job!

Why would anyone give it a thumbs down? He is showing people how to repair a windshield so people can save money. If you don’t like the video don’t watch it.

Just called Safelite to fix a tiny crack, they want $188.00!! Think I’ll go buy the kit, thank you!

Your video on windshield chip repair was excellent! I work at a car dealership where we see this problem all too often. Your repair looked better than repairs we pay for. I am going to try doing this myself on our next stone chipped windshield. Thanks to your video I know to expect better repairs in the future. Thanks Chris.

Every time I fix a crack on someone’s wind shield, I watch this video to keep track of the steps. Thank you so much, this video is super helpful.

Being a auto glass technician myself I say this is pritty cool and very interesting, good for people who don’t have $100 to get there chips fixed just have to make sure your very careful not to let it crack of in the process. One additional tip for this diy repair would be to lightly heat the inside of the screen with a lighter right where the chip is. This will help make that resn get thinner and will make it easy for it to get right out to the end of the legs of the chip and lightly tap around the chip with a small piece of steel :) cool stuff

This is the most useful video for fixing chips on your windshield! Have had two in the past 3 months and watching this video and following the steps really helped me use the kit and it made the crack completely go away .

[ryanamberger]

Mechanically I'm sure this isn't a huge deal...but this still blows my mind how it just virtually disappears. 👍

[kacey_donner]

I liked the view of the bubbles from inside the car! Great video and thank you.

[MarcelSmith]

I’ve got goosebumps! My dealership quoted me $125 to fix the tiniest chip, even smaller than yours in the video.. I’m in awe that the crack disappeared! For $10!?!? I’ll be doing this thank you very much!

[katherinedecarlo]

I chipped my windshield yesterday, saw this video and knocked it out on my lunch break! Looks brand new! Thank you for the video!!

[getin]

Its always nice to watch someone else try a product out before you muck it up yourself. Thanks for the video, you convinced me this works and works well. I don't know how old you are Chris but you'd make a heck of a salesman, you speak well and include every important detail. You're rather quite brilliant!

I’ve watched your video several times over the years, fixing my windshield, good info and straight to the point
