Repairing a bullseye break in a windshield is an easy application and will save you money and time versus having it done by a professional. Loose rocks in the road, driving behind dump trucks, and new asphalt paving are among the most likely scenarios to lend you the headache of a bullseye break.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Step1
Purchase a bullseye break windshield repair kit. You can find one in most automotive stores or the Internet at one of many online retailers.
Step2
Drill into the break with a high-speed dremel tool to flake off any loose glass.
Step3
Use the "Drill and Pop" method to prepare the glass. Tap the bullseye lightly with small steel tapper to make the circle more true or complete.
Step4
Prepare the bridge tool by screwing back the legs and the injector tip. Resin is added to the injector at this point.
Step5
Apply the injector tip to the windshield, then screw down the legs making sure you can see around the bridge.
Step6
Alternate applying pressure with creating a vacuum where the resin has been applied to the glass. The bridge may have a spring-loaded or electric vacuum. Either one will do fine.
Step7
Let the sun cure the resin. The resin requires an ultraviolet curing so if the sun isn't an option then an ultraviolet lamp will do.
