RainX Windshield Repair - Does it work? The ULTIMATE How to Use Guide 

Pro tip. When you get the plunger in and are applying pressure go on the inside take a lighter and apply a little heat to the spot. This will cause the resin to suck into the cracks. I had a professional glass repair person tell me that. I did it with mine and it worked great. Thanks for the video.

I sucked at reading instructions when buying a product and I prefer watching videos lol. Thank you for this!

I did my repair on a cool (55°F) but sunny day and here’s a tip that helped me: I cleaned the windshield with rubbing alcohol, then left the car in the sun for 30 minutes to make sure the alcohol evaporated and to heat the windshield up a bit. I then moved the car out of the sun into the carport and did the repair per the instructions. As I slowly turned the pressure driver, I watched from inside the car as the resin seeped into all the little cracks and crevices of the damaged area. I think pre-heating the windshield helped the resin flow easier.

I just got a chip today too! was devastated about it. Thanks for the video man it alleviated my anxiety to know that there may be a diy fix as my chip is about the same size as yours

Hey man this is the only good video I’ve seen about fixing a windshield chip. This was really helpful and well-narrated and I appreciate you taking the time to post it!

Great video. Repaired a chip in my windshield this morning that I had been quoted $109 for by the local Safelite glass repair company. Was told each subsequent repair would "only be $26.00" $11 for the kit from the local auto parts store and 30 minutes later - chip repaired.

A big thank you for making this very helpful video! The RainX fixed the "star" back to 95% condition and I am very grateful to have fixed it myself.

Just to say thanks for the video. With admirable determination I've waded through a whole selection of videos on repairing cracks on windscreens using Rainx and have shown considerable maturity and restraint by not leaving comments on most of them. So it's nice and refreshing to find a video which is both easy to follow and instructive and one where I can actually leave a comment which doesn't get a restraining order. Mike

I'm watching this rather than read the instructions clearly executed good job ...

I watched a few videos on using this but your video was the most accurate and informative, thanks

Thanks for the in depth tutorial, got a nasty small crack today. Gonna fix it right up tomorrow.

Good step by step video. I had surprisingly good results with this kit. Took a nickel size whitish mark on the window down to a barely noticeable distortion in the glass. Saved $120 vs going to a window repair place.

I can see you are a perfectionist not only by the way you did the repair but by the way you made this excellent video! thanks a lot :)

Thanks for your vid! Just did this myself. I had a bullseye and 3 small spider cracks. Was quoted $60 for the bullseye alone. The Rain-X repair kit cost me $12 from WallyWorld! And I have enough leftover to use again if needed.

even after 2 years of a chip I managed to fade it out with a preventive digging with a needle and cleaning with alcohol. It took me more to prepare the place. Now it is barely visible but at least I know I've sealed the cracks and no more water and dust will get in there. Thanks for the video...

Special Mention - Thanks for showing the part where you clean out the excess damaged glass fragments with a razor blade. Soooo many people forget this very crucial step!

great video and instruction.. and no music! LOL Thanks for your time. I had Halfords do a 'professional' job on my last VW.. I naively expected it to disappear... It doesn't and it didn't. Your efforts were better. The extra time you put in made it a lot better. Thanks. I ordered a kit to put in the car.. you never know when you might need it.

Just did mine perfect result with applying lighter heat from the inside of the car to the resine helped a lot applied the resin twice

Followed this video for a chip I had on my windshield and it worked! looks good

Thanks for your video! Watched before I attempted in the morning before returning a car rental. Got a nice almost dime size bullseye chip with a couple tiny arms coming off it when driving on the highway. I was able to do it in 10 min while vacuuming dog hair out of the car, prior to dropping the car back! I didn't even finish the scrapping process, but it passed the rental office visual inspection!! 😊

Thank you for the very detailed how to video. It made my life much easier filling in my windshield crack. Really appreciated, thank you !

Just got mine from Asda, glad there is a vid here demonstrating what to do!

Thank you sir, I appreciate this video. My chip is not as bad as yours was. I'm mostly doing mine as precautionary to fix it as opposed to letting water get in there and then freeze potentially doing further damage during the winter. I liked and subscribed as I thank you

Well done mate. Best video i've seen of anyone using this kit and your further applications by hand show the damage can be improved even more. I'm in the middle of repairing mine right now and just waiting on the 1st curing process! Edit: I noticed that after applying the drops into the pressure screw thing, if i tapped behind it on the inside of the windscreen continually, with the ends of my fingers, the resin spread throughout the tiny cracks that were coming off the initial chip. The more I tapped the better the resin spread within them. My chip has been sitting there for at least 6 months so it would have been better if I had done it earlier, but it has turned out perfect!

Nice demo, just did this myself. Mine came with about 15 of those plastic strips so after I took care of the initial crack, I took care of about 10 of those small rock chips by just using the resin and plastic. It was a LOT of razor blade scraping but the windshield looks a lot newer because of it. Thanks!

Even if you use a professional service, chipped glass will never be 100% the same as it was before. That turned out pretty damn good considering. The resin is meant to strengthen the glass moreso than anything else.

You did a better job than a professional company did with mine!

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, this was very helpful. I was able to “almost”remove the cracks, there’s a tiny bit of a dot on the windshield that can only be seen by me.

Well done and thanks for uploading. Bout to go try this myself. Great video!!!!

This worked well on a bullseye on my new Honda, but it was only partially successful on a 6 inch crack on the other side. Still better than replacing the windscreen.

Well demonstrated..impressed with the repair..Thankyou.

Thank you for posting this! Your video has helped me.

Cheers pal i wanted to know how good this was cheers for that very interesting video! 👍

THE BEST TUTORIAL! Thank you! 🎉

Fantastic video tutorial! Excellent product!

Very detailed video. Thank you. Worth taking the extra time that you did to get that end result

Excellent review, thank you!

Wow thanks. I'm going to give this a go tomorrow! Interesting how it worked better when you put more of the resin 3rd time without the sheet overtop and not even put back outside

Thanks! I have been putting off doing my chip for months now because I was intimidated by the process! Seeing it makes this much easier to understand! Here goes nothing!

So glad I found this! I cant believe what a professional wants for a small chip! I just want mine fixed because I believe It made it through the outside surface and I get condensation in my windshield on cool mornings and nights and have to crank up my defrosters to clear it up.

Hello Dave, I followed your instructions, and it worked perfectly chip has gone and the spider cracks faded, making a saving of £190.00, the rain -x cost me £10.00, thanks for sharing Best regards - Pete.

Thanks, Bought it, used it, not perfect, but did an excellent repair. Now we will see how it holds up👍

Thank you! I've subscribed! I do want to make a suggestion here, I think that you could have gone with four, or maybe even five, drops of the resin in the beginning, and that would have made the final blemish practically invisible. Thank you for the lovely video, it really was very informative.

I had two cracks that looked like fly sticks on windshield. I fixed it by watching your video. Very well explained. Thank you !

Thanks for that, will buy one tomorrow!

Thank for the video your direction was great 😊

Thanks for the video! Mine got chipped last week and I had to wait for a sunny day before attempting to repair this myself. Unfortunately its not warm out though so it may take longer for the resin to setup. I'll have to use a lighter from the I side I'm sure to make sure the resin is getting sucked into the cracks. Thanks once again.

Good informative video..gonna try the one I bought over the weekend..

Thanks for the video - your repair came out looking good.

Excellent Demonstration. Thank you from Pennsylvania!

Great vid, very thorough will try that now!

Thanks for doing this video for us... help me a lot..👍

I drive the highway daily and get several small chips per year. Nothing that really bullseyes out most of the time but I may have to keep one of these in my car kit for the hell of it.

Thank you for the demo.

Thanks very helpful instructions!

Nice vid mate thanks deffo going to be buying and following your steps

Thanks for uploading this. Only problem was 3 minutes in and I already have had 4 commercials.

lttp, good vid! Doing my windscreen either today or tomorrow and will have you playing alongside me :)

Good video, did a very similar thing on mine today with very good results, thanks!

Definitely some things I've missed when doing mine. Like taking time with the resin, and then going over it again after releasing any air bubbles from tapping on the inside. And I better buy some blue tape tomorrow so I can see it better.

Very useful video, hope my chips will look as good as your work. Cheers

Very professional presentation. Very helpful.

Very helpful! Thank you!

Good video, very helpful. To get a chip to 95% is exceptional

Thank you for this honest video

Good video. That said I have to look at the other products. You have some helpful comments below from others. Good job

Beautifully done . Thanks for the video You are a life saver saved me atleast 3000 rupees

Thanks for the info. keep it up!

Well done, Thank you. Nice truck...

So needle and thread! Lol what about 5 inches crakes, remove ant clockwise! I love you Brit's the way you all talk

I’m surprised this worked... I have a chip in my windshield. I don’t mind it but I did wanna fix it eventually but heaven knew I wasn’t gonna spend lots of money getting a small chip on my Windshield replaced. Knowing this exists. I might just have to try!!

excellent guide, thanks

I did one this afternoon with a cheap kit,worked 100 percent. Didn't follow the instructions either, sometimes you just got to ignore the instructions and do it as you think is best.

Great attention to detail

Thank you very much Sir!

Great video man thanks

Good job Dave! Cheers 👍 Now waiting for a sunny day 🤷‍♂️🤞

Very impressive! Good job!

Cheers mate, gonna give it a go 😎

Good for the cost of the kit for me solves a lot. I paid $118 to have it repaired and it's the same as with the $10 rainx kit... it's a good option

Good honist review. That's more important than the results

Cracking video mate..

Followed all your instructions and the ones on the kit. Can't see my nasty chip anymore. Took about an hour to get it just right but well worth it. Thanks mate.

Wow, this stuff works great!

Good point about the window tint!

Very good i will give it a go bought this at asda today

top tip: when travelling behind bulk haulage (tipper) trucks, leave a good 30 meters. When I drove tippers and was paid by the load, it was always a quick sweep of the back door plate and any excess stone just fell off onto the road (then bounces up onto following cars windscreen) on the way to the next job ;)

I used it and it worked for me

Used this product today and it added cracks to my chip. Now I really need a new windshield.

thank you very much for thar in detailed honest review

Thanks so much ! Was able to follow along and repair my chip

nice one mate cheers

Our stupid insurance company in British Columbia called ICBC will not permit professional glass companies to repair glass like you just did. They will only pay for new windshields to be installed at huge cost. Crazy! Your demo was great! I am surprised RainX does not pay you to do one for them so they could put on the printed directions. Good job!

Excellent thank you!

You should be hired to do all youtube voiceovers. Well done.

I used something similar today to fix a reasonable line crack in my windshield. I cheated a little bit and applied a light amount of pressure on the underside and allowed to resin to sleep in. P.S it could make the crack longer if you do that use with EXTREME HUGE MASSIVE LARGE EXTREMELY HUMONGOUS CAUSION. That made one side almost vanish but I wish I thought of that before I did the correct side bahhh.

Another Pro tip - "don't twist off the round ball on top of the resin... :) There's actually enough there to do at least 3 to 4 jobs. What I do is simply unscrew the top of the bottle and add the drops then quickly put it back on to save the ample supply given, for another round.... After this is done, you simply wash the plunger piece with break cleaner/carb cleaner and that resin breaks right up. Then once complete, soak the plunger piece in soapy warm water for about an hour, so that it gets rid of the break cleaner/carb cleaner chemicals and leaves the rubber supple, so it can be used again.. ;)

Great precise vid,,no fluff or selling spiel
