I always was unsecure taking hands on my own car to repair stuff, but since I found your channel I changed brake pads and disks, alternator, glowplugs and so on its superfun and you can save so much money, you are a real hero, keep it up!!!

lost count of how many chips I have fixed but this is number 3 that I made a video for. I try to cover each type of chip. Next I need to do a crack!

I realize this is an old video.... but I just used the Rain-X kit... Worked great. My windshield is amazing. Thank You Chris. My only slight addition to your video would be, if it doesn't seem to fill the whole starburst, just LET IT SIT. Hit it with a heat gun a little maybe. I got a phone call, and when I got back, the crack was totally filled perfect....

after the fixture is mounted over the crack and the resin is under pressure.... it helps to take a lighter and add heat to the inside of the glass a little under the chip. this heats the lamination between the glass and helps the resin spread to all of the cracked area.. dont heat for more than about 25 30 sec. and keep the flame about half inch away. lighter only! no heat gun or tourch..(too much heat at once)glass tech. for 10 years now.

Awesome videos Chris. I’ve been watching for about 4 years and got a chip in my windshield this morning. Was cautious to do it myself since windshields can be an expensive fix but once I saw you made a video on it will definitely do it myself! I always refer your videos to people my dude. You are the Jesus of the YouTube automotive industry!

8:14, when you remove the plunger, it can create a vacuum,
It may help to screw in and remove the plunger a few times to remove air pockets.
Other tips I saw on YT, is to tap the glass with the wet resin, slight heat from inside from a hairdryer or lighter, and polishing the final cured resin.

Wow, that came out better than what any of the glass places can do, no joke. That's insane.

Wow! Single mom here and your vids are so helpful! Not afraid anymore of my vehicle or ask questions to mechanics or what product to use to clean my car. THANK U!

I had a bullseye just like this. I followed your video and fixed it today. My results weren't as good as yours but your video was a great help. Thanks!

I like how over the years he started getting so much more enthusiastic about what he was doing - you can hear the amount of energy he has in his voice when making videos in 2019

Nice video Chris. I have done a few of these and think the Rain-x kit works the best. It's imperative (as you said) to note these need to be repaired as soon as possible to avoid spread of the crack.

I’ve used this before. It works pretty good. One suggestion Chris. Do Not Clean with windex or cleaner for a few days. Or that’s what the kit say I believe. Thanks Chris. Love your videos.
