Rain-X Windshield Repair Kit on a Chip + Long Crack

July 31, 2023 Update - Crack has still not grown since original application - still looks exactly the same as in this video. Originally done in July 2020

Showed the application of the Rain-X 600001 Windshield Repair Kit on a 2019 Honda Pilot to repair a chip and a very long crack. Worked out pretty good, would recommend.

Worked good for me had about a half foot crack and chip...the trick I used was my wifes toy...as I put the resin in she was in the inside of the car and her her egg in a sock against the crack of the windshield. The vibrations from the sock egg vibrated the windshield enough so the resin would go into the crack. Then let it dry in the garage for two hours...then pulled it out in direct sun to let it bake for an hour..back in the garage let it cool down then scraped it you hardly can see it now...

Dude did well. Even gave his windshield a massage.

A few more tips I want to add being that I did my own windshield in 2021 with a similarly long crack and it's held up since is that you can watch videos of professionals doing this with better tools but can use 2 or 3 of these cheaper plastic tools to do the same thing. Basically you'll want to use the bullseye dropper to shoot goop into the main chip then "wick" the resin along with a cue tip soaked in the same resin. Push and follow from behind and it pushes itself forward. With your spare 2 other resin injectors you'll use them to very very slightly open the crack a super little bit evenly from the other side of the windshield to help the resin flow through.

The reason you're supposed to scrape it a 90° angle is to avoid pulling the resin out of the crack like you did at the chip. If you scrape it at a 90° angle you can avoid that

This is the exact crack I have on my 2004 Camry's windshield. My insurance isn't gonna cover it. I was pretty sad abt the whole thing but this video gave me hope. Thank you!

Same boat myself, Crack is getting longer day by day, so come tomorrow bright and early doing this. Thanks for the vid.

It works great if u push on the glass from the inside as ur putting the filler in the crack u can watch the crack disappear if ur putting the right amount of pressure on the crack the clear film strip are just to keep the air from going back in the crack while ur waiting on it to dry 15 to 20 nins in sun ..u may need someone pushing on the inside of the crack as u apply the resin from outside. opening that crack to get the resin down inside it will literally disappear if ur doing it correctly

I tried and it works like a breeze. Im having this crack my whole life, and whatever I tried it always stayed visible. It was bothering me because theres sometimes air passing through it, and it's not always very pleasant. It's finally closed up now, even though mechanics said i couldn't and shouldn't do it. But since a week I have severe stomach pains.. i will find a fix for that too, these days you can find anything on YouTube. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the video and more important, the update that 3+years later, it's till holding. This is what I was looking for.

I used this kit and I'm quite happy with the results too. I drilled a hole 1/8 inch from the end of the crack, in the top layer of glass only. I put an electric heater inside the van to heat up the glass since it was 50 in my garage. Then I let the glue flow into crack and followed the flow, just behind the flow, along the rest of the crack. I used reading glasses to help me see the flow into the crack. I followed the directions for the rest of the procedure. I parked outside to let it setup etc. The next day, after being parked outside, it seemed that the crack was even harder to see than on the first day after setting up. I don't know if the glue hardened and shrunk further but I'm even happier with the repair.

Thank you for this! Really glad you showed how you pushed on the glass to get the air out. Wasn't sure how hard to push.✌

Appreciate the speedy reply, my wife’s car has a similar crack so I wanted to try this!

OMG OMG You are a lifesaver for showing this..I called windshield companies for a 2021 Kia Sportage. I was quoted 1000.+ for repairs. I called the dealership and they wanted to put a claim in to my insurance. But after watching your video and purchasing this product, I was able to fix a crack, which was more that 30ins. Rain-x just put many windshield companies out of business. P.S. I have some little gaps because I am short BUT for the majority of the crack, it has disappeared. Thanks again..

Just had a rock hit my windshield and had a crack spreading on my drive home. I didn’t have a repair kit but read about clear nail polish and clear packing tape being able to stop the crack. So far so good. I’ve got an appointment in the morning to get it repaired. I was (and still am) a little shaken because I’ve never had that happen where the glass actually cracked. Thank you for the video, and shoutout to you because I live in Louisiana too.

[toto]

Thank you for showing us it can be done, mines a bit longer than yours spreading 3 ways from the middle. It’s been chillin for about 2 months and still hasn’t spread.

[wendygalloway]

Great advice. I will try and comment on my results. Thanks!

Hey dude, ive seen this get done 100% cleared with same equipment, you have to use the suction device and grease the sides both sides 5-10 cm from crack and slowly drip resin and move suction as you go along, what will happen is the resin will fill the bullseye and line crack 100% with that pressure on it... you can also tap the glass inside to help resin flow inside....after few hours scrap and clear glass. hope this helps .

Wow I was using the plunger improperly. Thanks for the vid. I'll give this a whirl tonight

[TungstenCarbideTempe]

Also some heat helps, either
A)light torch, quick passes,
B) or a heat gun, if you’re close to power outlets
Thanks for a video!!
