Windshield Long Crack Repair
Purpose
With a 6-inch long crack on the windshield, hope the repair will:
1. make it less visible;
2. stop the growth of the crack;
Supply
* RainX Windshield Repair Kit (resin bottle)
www.rainx.com/product/rain-x-...
amzn.to/49XLPTz
* Disclosure: As an eBay Partner, I may be compensated if you make a purchase from the product links I posted in the video description and comments below.
which comes with:
1. Resin bottle, x1
2. Curing strips
3. Razor blade
No affiliation. I chose it because it includes "long crack" in its product description and instructions.
Steps
1. Mark the crack from inside.
2. From outside/above, apply resin VERY slowly along the crack.
3. Move at the speed for the crack line to disappear (not as visible).
4. Reapply resin wherever necessary.
5. Apply a small amount of pressure on the crack, from inside in the car.
1. just enough pressure
2. on both sides and center of crack
3. to help reduce air pockets
6. Cover the crack with curing strips.
7. Move the car outside, under the sun, and let it cure for 10 minutes or so.
1. Or you may use a curing light.
8. After it is cured, remove the curing strips.
9. Use the provided razor blade to scratch off cured resin on the glass surface.
1. Hold blade 90 degree (perpendicular to) the glass.
10. Check crack visually.
Notes
+ It is a cloudy day and I leave the windshield under the sun/cloud for hours to cure.
+ Crack is much harder to see after the repair; but visible from a certain angle.
+ One month after the repair, the crack remains the same size (no growth).
Question
Not sure how long the repair will hold up, but will report back in a year or so.
