How to Repair Glass on a Car Door

Liquid resin can repair a car window and prevent it from spidering out.

Repairing the glass window on your car door does not have to become a big task. Since the glass was made to withstand pressure and the force of flying objects, the damage done to it should be minimal. Even if the crack has spread throughout the glass, it can be repaired with the help of a few simple tools and materials.

Things You'll Need

• Safety goggles
• Mild dish detergent
• Hose and water
• Denatured alcohol
• Cotton swab
• Soft cloths
• Razor blade
• Adhesive syringe
• Liquid resin adhesive

Instructions

1. Wash the window with soap, water and a soft sponge. Dry it, and then dab a denatured alcohol-soaked cotton swab onto the damaged areas. Allow it to air dry, and put your goggles on.

2. Fill the syringe with the liquid resin adhesive by placing the tip inside of the resin bottle and drawing back on the rubber end. Give the syringe a few taps with your forefinger to release air bubbles.

3. Place the tip of the syringe inside the crack and release the resin. Allow it to overflow for the best repair results. Allow the resin to dry for at least one hour.

4. Scrape the excess dried resin off of the surface with the edge of a razor blade.
