How To Repair Your Windshield

If you have a chip on your windshield, it is necessary that you get it repaired as soon as possible. A small chip on your windshield can turn into a big problem quickly. After the first layer of your windshield is penetrated, it is likely to crack out causing further damage, plus the need for a costly replacement.

Repairing your windshield when you notice a chip will save you money in the long run. You can call a windshield repair company, or do it yourself. They do sell inexpensive windshield repair kits at your local auto parts store, but if you are not comfortable with the process, call a professional.

Step 1: Windshield Repair Tools & Supplies

You can purchase a windshield repair kit from your local auto parts store, which will include all the necessary tools and supplies. I will be using a professional grade windshield repair kit, but the concept is the same.

You will need
A Mirror to place on the inside of the windshield
A Bridge & injector
Windshield repair resin
Windshield pit filler
Plastic curing tab
Razor blades
A dremel tool with special glass bit for cracks

Great stuff! But I have to say DIY windshield repair is a great idea if you know what you’re doing to be honest and you can surely save some cash out of it. However it would be a great idea as well to get a professional help when it comes on this just to make sure you'll not ending up replacing the whole windshield as to the result of the DIY method you have…
