Things You'll Need:
- Razor blade
- Windshield repair kit, which should include:
- Suction cup tool
- Threaded plastic tube
- Tube of resin
- Clear finishing film
-
Step 1
Clean the surface of the windshield, at least where the damage is. Use a razor blade to pick out any small, loose pieces of glass. Wipe the surface with window cleaner and wait for it to dry completely.
-
Step 2
Attach the suction cup tool from the repair kit to the windshield. This tool has four suction cups connected together with an X-frame with a hole in the center; make sure the hole is directly over the chipped surface. Press the cups firmly to the glass and slide the arms of the X-frame to adjust the hole's position if needed.
-
Step 3
Insert the threaded plastic tube into the hole in the suction cup tool; the tube should look like a large, hollow bolt. Twist and screw the tube into the threaded hole by hand until it is as tight as you can get it. Enter the car to make sure the tube's rubber tip is right on top of the window chip.
-
Step 4
Place the kit's tube of resin into the plastic tube on the car, making sure the resin tube's cap is open. Squeeze two to four drops of resin down into the tube and onto the chip. Quickly take the plastic tube's center plunger and screw it all the way down into the tube to push the resin into the chip.
-
Step 5
Remove the entire kit from the windshield after waiting a minute for the resin to completely settle in. Place a sheet of clear finishing film over the surface. Use the flat side or rounded edge of the razor blade to smooth out the resin and spread it across any small cracks.
-
Step 6
Remove the film after waiting at least 10 minutes to make sure the resin is dry. Use the razor blade to scrape away any excess resin from the surface of the glass.
