I used this method (grease on the suction cups) with a $15 Rain-X DIY chip repair kit and successfully filled an 8-inch crack in my windshield! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks for the awesome video!
@vpnvpn4705 No, it's on the outside and there's a layer between the inside and outside glass. You can look up more details about how windshields are constructed, but you're filling a crack that's only on the outside layer.
The Rain-X kit uses suction cups and a tiny hole at the bottom of the reservoir pressured against the glass, which pushes the resin in and displaces air/vacuum out. The grease on the suction cups like this video shows allows you to move the whole apparatus and fill a crack instead of just a bullseye/chip.
I knew that it could be done, but I was a bit of a skeptic with that long of a crack. That’s quite impressive. The only problem I’m having is that I can’t find a shop that will do it. All the shops I’ve contacted only want to replace which could be different then my JDM windshield.
No shops really repair something that large, the chances of it spreading after the fact are too great and we have to deal with frustrated customers more often than we want to
I dont mean to be off topic but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me

Dang just my luck. I was thinking i’d patent that new fangled control arm until he said it was already patented. Guess I can’t make one of my own now. This guy is always like 2 steps ahead of me.
This came out pretty good, i would consider doing this on nostalgia cars or totally cars with no spare parts. I work in the autoglass business, but no insurance company will cover any repairs larger than an inch or two. Crack, def no no. To pay us the actual fee for doing this work above, would end up beeing what the deductable for an entire windshield swap would be. Thats true in Sweden / Norway anyway.
hey man I had a drink one day while I was repairing a windshield & I ended up drilling through the windshield through the driver's seat and through the floor pan in to the car park asphalt into the earth out the other end and I ended up in downtown China! There's a whole new meaning to a crack expander over there! I ended up with a black eye which has nothing to do with your brown eye! But alas Tonto I am back home all tucked up now.
FYI...The reason most glass companies won't repair cracks longer than 6" is because (or should be) because it is a structural issue. The windshields are part of the structure of your crash rating and must be full or as close to full strength as possible to protect you in an accident. So yeah, you can cosmetically improve the looks (somewhat) with this method, but it is still damaged. To each his own...be safe!
Michael G your windshield will spread its not repaired just temporary fix I won’t in this industry for 80 to 100 to repair or 50 dollar difference with insurance let the insurance pay 💰
@@newmenalejandro1362 That's right, this is 90% cosmetic and the area will always be weak and may be vulnerable in different ways whether you're caught in a hail storm or driving on bumpy terrain, but I still wouldn't hesitate to do this quick fix.
The reason why they where to replace the windshield is because, (I am a tech) after the crack is longer then a 6 inches (a bill note or dollar), the is a safety issue with repairing the windshield. the Resin after it cures becomes harder than glass. windshields are made to break a certain way, to much resin will alter this, and could honestly be a huge safety hazard.
@@e.nicholelewis1561 Emily, it depends on the tech. I'm in Wichita Ks, I'm a player @ $75. Crack repair can be very smart. It all depends on where, how old, and so forth. The dollar bill rule is an invention of Safelite Auto Glass. I think it's funny that they use a dollar bill as the metric. Because really that's what it's all about the dollar bill they want to sell you a new windshield all the time and always. Search out a good windshield repair service in your area. ROLAGS is the standard (ANSI). Good luck dear.
no use of a vacuum pump, interesting. I always thought the best fixes are done with them. You did a really good job on this, considering the age of the crack....6 months...damn.
You are right. Best repairs are done with a vacuum (on rock damages which are your stars, bullseyes etc.) but that crack is so wide open there was no reason to use all that equipment. The resin and Mylar capping plastic would’ve done the job. When the crack is open enough to feel with a nail (as that one was) you could drop anything in there and it’d fill almost immediately.
In most cracks you don't even have to use that... Just run the resin with the tip of the resin bottle... Follow the crack and it will fill the crack with resin as you follow the crack line ..
"It's just the first two or three inches that are going to be tight, depending on the crack...it's going to start leaking out because the crack is gappy..."
Hi, thank you for sharing this helpful video. I think so far this is the best DIY video for repairing cracked windshield. Other video offered us to hear the guy talk everything that nonsense and off the topic. That's really an expensive tool you bought for windshield repair. I bought mine just for $15, Rain X brand. Have you done your project yet?
I need this guy right about now. Just for a little 1 inch Crack these knuckleheads are telling me I need to replace the window. Problem is, I have a BRAND new car where less than 5,000 of them are driving around in the US and the windshield is very limited
Thunder 88 according to our current educational system, the answer to that equation is CORRECT! 8 is the new 6.. hendrix was close with if 6 was 9. oh well
I got mine for ~65 euros from ebay. It had resine for many chips and few cracks, but ask the seller if it supports long cracks. Search on ebay or google for "windshield crack repair". Cheers!
When scraping the resin off of the final bullseye he says to "scrape straight on ... scraping at an angle will gauge out the resin that cured in the bullseye". What does scraping straight on mean? How exactly should the blade be angled??
Curious why, after alllllll these many years, you never updated your video description with the brand of the product you used, or a "years later" follow-up.
Thank you for probably one of the best videos on the subject of spider crack windshield repair that I have seen. Question arises: if the windshield cracked as a result of something hitting it from the inside (a ceramic mug), does the repair have to be done from the inside, or is it assumed that the cracks have gone through and through and you can just repair it from the outside?
6 month old, massive crack. and he repaired it like it was nothing. jeeze. and 99% of people keep saying its impossible and the windscreen needs to be replaced with these sort of cracks.
This is a temporary fix. A CRACK WILL STILL SURFACE BECASUE THE INTREGRITY OF THE GLASS IS COMPROMISED. The glass has a weak point that is unreachable by the technician. An expensive way to hinder replacing the windshield
ps. in the end the kit was good exept that the seller added on rubber ring that keeps the pressure in the syringe but it was not meant for this work and melted with the resine so there was no pressure applied to the resine and it didn't penetrate in depth, so the crack was visible. I assume if there was not this problem the kit would work fine.
That Video is not as bad as some others what just focus profit. as you were talking about the price where did you get those components? are you talking about the o-rings melted a way?
Jeff Stanton well Jeff, they do say that. sounds like your simply not hitting the old bullseye, & my guess is too shallow, but just ask her. she’ll prolly thank you for noticing
That's funny! My 98 Honda CRV has a crack going all the way across, and another crack starting...and I can see a CRV of the same generation in the background through the windshield in the video..☺️
Very good video..yes some persons says buy a new windshield but this is a video for repair your used windshield ..if you are a lucky guy you find a cheap windshield plus labor...maybe repair it doesnt cost more than 50 bucks(just saying)
I would like to show a portion of this video in a Vehicle Operations training breakout at my organization. With whom should I get in touch to obtain permission to use it? I appreciate your help. Thank you!
Please reply quickly. Is this a permanent solution to the crack? Does it last long or will it come back again? I am a young man who wants to learn this work to earn a living. I would be very happy if you send me one of these tools for work as a gift for me. I live in Egypt.
Looks good but how rugged and long lasting is the repair? How hoes this repair hold up if vehicle is driving on terrible pot holed streets like New York City?
Advice me how to flex the windshield near the bottom of it. I have long crack that just appeared and it’s 1 inch above the wipers( in the edge of the dashboard ) I tried pushing the windshield but it’s not flexing and resin is not going in 😔
Same here my crack is much smaller but they cant repair the crack but want to replace the entire windshield. Can you use petroleum vaseline as a lubricant when sliding the suction cups along the crack. Where can you buy that tool and two part resin. Can you use clear acrylic resin?
There are a lot scam products with that liquid. I found 100% original, Kanelo is the world best nano liquid maker. Just write on google "kanelo repair fluid" and thanks me later :D I cracked windshield on mom's car, and she didn't noticed anything after I used that product :D
The windshield of my tractor is cracked in many different ways, would this work for that? I have a bottle of laminating resin just sitting around which is what i assume that liquid is.
It's like the twin towers....it's designed to crumble with a certain level of stress (not explode)....I doubt controlled drilling would cause the whole windshield to break...This is referred to as safety glass as the crumbled pieces don't have sharp edges and won't cut you...It's assistance in structural integrity is insignificant IMO, it's prioritized use is related to safety in preventing cuts. It's the same glass required in every school windows here in NY. Also in my experience when I was drilling using the wrong bit, it extended the crack more as I had to put more a lot more pressure on the windshield for the bit to penetrate the glass but when using the correct carbide tip drill bit, it drilled with no issues and barely needing to put any pressure on the windshield. But neither methods have ever caused the whole windshield to break.
@@cesarmendoza8632 If you've ever tried to cut it, it literally does kind of explode. When I was a young lad, I tried to cut an old shower door with a glass cutter, cause I needed a smaller piece from it. Didn't know it was tempered glass (cause when I was young, I didn't know anything, lol). Needless to say, once it gave, it sounded like a gunshot and pieces went flying everywhere, including up the stairs and in directions I never thought it would go. Kind of like an explosion. I get what you mean, it doesn't "literally" explode, but you'd swear it did, hehehehe. Same happened when I dropped a tempered glass bowl on a hard kitchen floor. I was still finding pebbles of glass under the fridge etc. clear across the kitchen months later and I thought I had swept it up really well. It definitely likes to break "in an explosive fashion" compared other glass and ceramic.
Nice video and wants to know if the resin have expiry date. our repairs do drain from the cracks after repairs within 3-4 days after repairs. any advice. thanks.
would like to buy your tool however i did drill got a bulls eye and th plastic tool used could not get the vaccm and i had to scrape the resin i poored over the crack a month ago using the mylar tabs it cure in the sun, after doing all this i still could not get the resin traveling through the cracks from the impact site? Can you help me and how much those your tool cost? thanks.
Just so y’all know the insurance will pay for a new windshield if you have a crack in the view of the driver and 3 to 500 to be safe instead of trying to repair (which is never guaranteed) and end up replacing and Insurance won’t pay for tampering
A little advice coming from someone who's been in the auto glass industry for over 20 years now. If you pay your insurance company around 5 to 10 dollars a month extra for glass coverage or you live in a state where if you carry comprehensive then your deductible is waived,why repair something when it can be replaced. Filling the crack in doesn't change the fact that there's still a crack in your windshield. It's just filled with a clear resin.Like if you have a pimple on your face why cover it up with makeup if there was a product that will remove it.The structural integrity of your windshield is. compromised the second the crack spreads from its initial impact point. The only benefit of a chip or crack repair is for someone to save money that doesn't carry the proper insurance. For example it doesn't make sense to carry comprehensive or collision because your driving a rust bucket so a windshield replacement wouldn't be covered so in the scenario it would be beneficial but i see too often people driving a brand new car, they have a crack "repaired" and say wow i can't even see it what a great job. Then they drive around not realizing that it's still just as cracked as it was before it was repaired. The integrity or your glass is being held together by a UV cured resin. I'm sure the engineers at BMW didn't have that in mind when coming up with schematics for the original windshield of your car. The glass works as a structural piece the works with a A and B pillars of your vehicle to hold up the roof during a roll over or collision. It just doesn't make sense to half ass something when it can be done right for the same price.......FREE.
this is a DITTO>>and 100% correct!!!>> ... "No name.......>>>>> who THE FUCK cares? 99.9999% of people are not going to get in an accident severe enough to utilize the windshields "life saving" integrity... they just want the eyesore gone. motorcycles don't even have a fuckin windshield, seatbelt or Fuckin frame protecting you for that matter. yet you're going to bitch about the "life saving integrity" of your fucking windshield? lol GTFO... just sleazy windshield repair salesmen up-sale pitch to make more $$ lol."
Couldn't u jus fill the first couple inch or so n be fine?i is already cracked to the top of the window why fill it?just fill the other end n I'll be fine no??.
Wash yes. Alcohol? That I’m not sure of. I know at Safelite we clean with glass cleaner (the foam aerosol kind) and then we use a capsule of acetone to prepare for the repair process
I'm curious if that repair meets the structural requirements of the vehicle manufacturer and the rollover standards of the state or country it was completed in.
+Tom Gates II Well pay $1000 for a new windscreen then. The plastic is still in tact for 99.999999999999% of the windshield and that's what keeps you safe.
Great job!! where can i find such a talent Glass repair guy in Texas?? the one that did repair my windshield cracks just a joke!! only 4 inches long but it still visible line seen
Ab Abner like we always tell customers there is a chance it will spread a rock chip repair is never guaranteed but the bullseye just helps relieve pressure so it does but you need to know how to apply
Thanks for the video! I have one question: Why you need a bullseye (in the beginning of the vid)? Why is drilling the hole not enough to stop the crack?
the bullseye is for the resin to penetrate inside the crack. technically Glasses have three layers the middle layer is plastic which is the one that's cracked.
you said you need to gel up your tool to prevent air up in your crack & at one point you said you can use your thumb? Is their some hidden message in here sir?
Since the next good hit would result in an additional crack and a lost windshield according to your logic, you've at least saved the cost of *one* windshield by having this done. Whether it is worth your money to buy the kit if it is indeed that expensive would depend on the frequency of cracked windshields that happen to you. For some people, it *might* be worth it. The price you quote is a lot more than I'm willing to spend on the possibility that *I* would do it right and get enough cracks to justify the cost, even though I got my first crack on my new Jeep Wrangler JL in only 2050 miles. :(

There are a lot scam products with that liquid. I found 100% original, Kanelo is the world best nano liquid maker. Just write on google "kanelo repair fluid" and thanks me later :D I cracked windshield on mom's car, and she didn't noticed anything after I used that product :D
Thank you, I also took repair fluid from kanelobrand.com and I'm really satisfied with products
i bougth the mayweather its better
The windshield of my tractor is cracked in many different ways, would this work for that? I have a bottle of laminating resin just sitting around which is what i assume that liquid is.
Great skills... it's a shame this can't be done in the UK by professionals (this type of repair is illegal in the UK as it's classed as unsafe).
yeah, that sucks. im willing to bet its the same deal here in nz.
In usa, I was told by a glass shop that it can't be over 2"
True, but done properly it can no longer be seen, so who is to know!
I was told by a glass dealer that tempered glass will explode if you drill on it. is he right all at? thanks in advance for the reply.
It's like the twin towers....it's designed to crumble with a certain level of stress (not explode)....I doubt controlled drilling would cause the whole windshield to break...This is referred to as safety glass as the crumbled pieces don't have sharp edges and won't cut you...It's assistance in structural integrity is insignificant IMO, it's prioritized use is related to safety in preventing cuts. It's the same glass required in every school windows here in NY.
Also in my experience when I was drilling using the wrong bit, it extended the crack more as I had to put more a lot more pressure on the windshield for the bit to penetrate the glass but when using the correct carbide tip drill bit, it drilled with no issues and barely needing to put any pressure on the windshield. But neither methods have ever caused the whole windshield to break.
ironmax007 this isn't tempered glass, only the side Windows and rear Window are tempered. this is laminated plate glass
ironmax007 lt wont explode .. lt shatters in hundreds of pieces
Windshields are safety glass, not tempered glass.
@@cesarmendoza8632 If you've ever tried to cut it, it literally does kind of explode. When I was a young lad, I tried to cut an old shower door with a glass cutter, cause I needed a smaller piece from it. Didn't know it was tempered glass (cause when I was young, I didn't know anything, lol). Needless to say, once it gave, it sounded like a gunshot and pieces went flying everywhere, including up the stairs and in directions I never thought it would go. Kind of like an explosion.
I get what you mean, it doesn't "literally" explode, but you'd swear it did, hehehehe. Same happened when I dropped a tempered glass bowl on a hard kitchen floor. I was still finding pebbles of glass under the fridge etc. clear across the kitchen months later and I thought I had swept it up really well. It definitely likes to break "in an explosive fashion" compared other glass and ceramic.
good job i want to buy the Rasin glass becouse i have made LUCK some jog in ANGOLA
Shouldnt be doing in the sun no matter how good you are, it will start curing in seconds
Do you know the name of the kit? I'm looking to get it so I can try some repairs on my vehicles.
Thanks

where did you purchase the crack jack tool (the gold one), and what type of lubricant did you use? thanks in advance!!!
Please let me know if you find out where this exists
a very Nice Good job for good Experian
Nice video and wants to know if the resin have expiry date. our repairs do drain from the cracks after repairs within 3-4 days after repairs. any advice. thanks.
would like to buy your tool however i did drill got a bulls eye and th plastic tool used could not get the vaccm and i had to scrape the resin i poored over the crack a month ago using the mylar tabs it cure in the sun, after doing all this i still could not get the resin traveling through the cracks from the impact site? Can you help me and how much those your tool cost? thanks.
Where can I have this done in Dallas, Texas?
This is a pro job, I don't think I could do it.
can this be done with a single injector not a dual one?
Just so y’all know the insurance will pay for a new windshield if you have a crack in the view of the driver and 3 to 500 to be safe instead of trying to repair (which is never guaranteed) and end up replacing and Insurance won’t pay for tampering
A little advice coming from someone who's been in the auto glass industry for over 20 years now. If you pay your insurance company around 5 to 10 dollars a month extra for glass coverage or you live in a state where if you carry comprehensive then your deductible is waived,why repair something when it can be replaced. Filling the crack in doesn't change the fact that there's still a crack in your windshield. It's just filled with a clear resin.Like if you have a pimple on your face why cover it up with makeup if there was a product that will remove it.The structural integrity of your windshield is. compromised the second the crack spreads from its initial impact point. The only benefit of a chip or crack repair is for someone to save money that doesn't carry the proper insurance. For example it doesn't make sense to carry comprehensive or collision because your driving a rust bucket so a windshield replacement wouldn't be covered so in the scenario it would be beneficial but i see too often people driving a brand new car, they have a crack "repaired" and say wow i can't even see it what a great job. Then they drive around not realizing that it's still just as cracked as it was before it was repaired. The integrity or your glass is being held together by a UV cured resin. I'm sure the engineers at BMW didn't have that in mind when coming up with schematics for the original windshield of your car. The glass works as a structural piece the works with a A and B pillars of your vehicle to hold up the roof during a roll over or collision. It just doesn't make sense to half ass something when it can be done right for the same price.......FREE.
this is a DITTO>>and 100% correct!!!>> ...
"No name.......>>>>> who THE FUCK cares? 99.9999% of people are not going to get in an accident severe enough to utilize the windshields "life saving" integrity... they just want the eyesore gone. motorcycles don't even have a fuckin windshield, seatbelt or Fuckin frame protecting you for that matter. yet you're going to bitch about the "life saving integrity" of your fucking windshield? lol GTFO... just sleazy windshield repair salesmen up-sale pitch to make more $$ lol."
i didn't even think this was possible.
Couldn't u jus fill the first couple inch or so n be fine?i is already cracked to the top of the window why fill it?just fill the other end n I'll be fine no??.
Should one wash the glass where crack is with alcohol to be sure it is clean, or don't bother.
Wash yes. Alcohol? That I’m not sure of. I know at Safelite we clean with glass cleaner (the foam aerosol kind) and then we use a capsule of acetone to prepare for the repair process
Always repair over replace if possible.
I'm curious if that repair meets the structural requirements of the vehicle manufacturer and the rollover standards of the state or country it was completed in.
+Tom Gates II Well pay $1000 for a new windscreen then. The plastic is still in tact for 99.999999999999% of the windshield and that's what keeps you safe.
Great job!! where can i find such a talent Glass repair guy in Texas?? the one that did repair my windshield cracks just a joke!! only 4 inches long but it still visible line seen
thoi roi don’t expect resin to disappear in glass two completely different materials just reduces the line
All repairs are still visible after. Some more than others but never do they COMPLETELY vanish.
Pls am a fast leaner and I need know the materials that are needed for the repair. I need the repair kits
Is drilling ahead of the crack and tapping it to make a bulls eye really necessary?
Ab Abner like we always tell customers there is a chance it will spread a rock chip repair is never guaranteed but the bullseye just helps relieve pressure so it does but you need to know how to apply
Can you recommend somebody for me in Sacramento area
Does safelite repair door windows if the windows no longer comes down with a new auto or hand crank device.
Yes we will do the labor but you must supply the replacement part (i.e. regulator)
Thanks for the video!
I have one question: Why you need a bullseye (in the beginning of the vid)?
Why is drilling the hole not enough to stop the crack?
That's what I also want to know
the bullseye is for the resin to penetrate inside the crack. technically Glasses have three layers the middle layer is plastic which is the one that's cracked.
The outside layer of glass is the one that’s cracked. The middle layer is vinyl and does not crack.
you said you need to gel up your tool to prevent air up in your crack & at one point you said you can use your thumb?
Is their some hidden message in here sir?
Burt Purvis thump from otherside of glass so, resin can spread easily!
Konchok Tharchen. Oh man i took it the wrong way. I've been gelling up my tool far tooooo much dude.
Burt Purvis No Burt Purvis, you got man. You’re doin it right, don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
Made by RONCO (makes a swell Christmas gift)
is there a product that would seal a cut seam in a bottle
Hi buddy is the repair permanent or a temporary fix please advice
The kits start at $500 and go up to $1500.
The crack isn't gone its just less noticeable.
Iif it takes another good hit, kiss it good bye.
Lyrik L.block He works at a windshield repair company.
Since the next good hit would result in an additional crack and a lost windshield according to your logic, you've at least saved the cost of *one* windshield by having this done. Whether it is worth your money to buy the kit if it is indeed that expensive would depend on the frequency of cracked windshields that happen to you. For some people, it *might* be worth it. The price you quote is a lot more than I'm willing to spend on the possibility that *I* would do it right and get enough cracks to justify the cost, even though I got my first crack on my new Jeep Wrangler JL in only 2050 miles. :(
