Did you use the curing strip? It didn't show on this video that's why i ask. The resin chamber job is to sip in and *bind* the *inner* glass in between the cracks and settle to the bottom of the glass so that it restores the structural integrity of the glass. Once you done that, the cracks are *still* visible because the top layer of the inner glass hasn't been cured by resin strip. You should use that resin strip and let it cure under the sun for the cracks to disappear.
I just purchased the kit. It doesn't show using the suction cups device for long cracks only for where the rock hit. It is listed under "Directions - Cracks". Just apply the rezin directly to crack from the bottle. I just noticed at the top of the instructions it also says (Please see reverse for repair of cracks). What might help as well, it instructs if there is air in the crack apply a small amount of pressure on the inside of the glass to remove air from crack, but not too hard or it might make the crack grow in size. He probably got conditioner in his crack. haha
Next time...drill the holes on both sides of the crack and clean the crack with a razor and some compressed air..otherwise good job for your first time
Tried a similar repair recently. Turns out the finish of the yellow plunger was so rough that the resin just leaked past it and not into the crack. Shame.
I just called the shop and I was told they wont repair anything longer than 2 inches crack...lol thats stupid just want you to pay for a new glass $500 smh
It's a safety liability similar to a tire shop refusing to patch a tire with sidewall damage. Once it's compramised that bad something can fly through it.
Many replacement shops won’t do a crack repair because they prefer the replacement revenue. That’s why they won’t repair anything bigger than 2”. $$$$ The ANSI Standard for Windshield repair known as ROLAGS states that cracks up to 14” can be repaired safely. When repaired using processes outlined in the standard. This should protect any liability should there be an issue.
@@glennfell2462 I've successfully filled quarter sized bullseye's with 6" cracks coming off it. The point is it still looks like shit and for the amount of time and materials it takes its not a price worth charging or paying. Not everyone is out to rip you off, its About being able to provide a service that you can actually be proud of. Pick up a bottle or resin off Amazon and do it yourself if your that cheap. A crack even if it's filled won't disappear and for sure won't pass inspection if it's necessary where you live. Again it's not to rip you off a repair to me is much easier and less Hassle than an install 😉
@@archangel6386 it will absolutely be. The manufacturers of the OEM windshields also produce the Aftermarket windshields and have to pass the same standards. I honestly wish there wasn't so much spreading of misinformation.
Anytime the crack touches the side of the windshield the integrity and safety of the windshield is gone and repairing cracks that touch any side can result in the windshield caving in and no repair company should ever repair one that does ,if they do sue them
So I've had a repair company attempted to fix this crack at the bottom of windshield.. he couldn't get the resin to go into crack after drilling like 5 holes in it.. how would one sue ?
Not true. If a crack touches 2 edges, it is compromised. If it only touches one, it can still be repaired. Edge or floater Cracks up to 14” can be repaired safely. This per the ANSI Standard covering repair of laminated auto glass. (ROLAGS). If you sue, good luck as you will be fighting against an industry standard that has been around since 2007 and approved by a 3rd party independent standards organization that determine due process, consensus, and other requirements for approval were met by the standards developer.
Ya dat fishing hole was filled with honey and mustard and and another thing a a a ohh ya fixed dah a a duh windshield glossy and duh shiny gots to buy dis crap
At least he took the TIME & tried it out... why not record it & show the results. That way if it works it worked, & if not then he at least might have saved some1 else the time & money. Me personally I'd rather look at a 10 minute video and get it just was going on then spend however long it took him to do the entire thing. Being Kind & Having Concern. Thank you for sharing though.
Why do you even waste your time commenting bullshit like this? Do you have nothing better to do with your time? The package has a FULL PAGE with instructions on how to use it on long cracks! Go find some friends and stop talking shit. Or, better yet, go read some books and get some real knowledge instead of making shit up and looking like an idiot. Oh, and in case you don't believe me, here is a copy from the instructions that come with the kit. i5.walmartimages.com/asr/995551d5-6d80-4c1a-b250-20157d2564c1_1.b1bba3c92f5fe73cdacc9d9d134d497d.jpeg

Why didnt you just go over it again
Next time...drill the holes on both sides of the crack and clean the crack with a razor and some compressed air..otherwise good job for your first time
Thanks for the info
So it’s been about 3 months? How’s the crack?
I think he's now smoking it
didn't they give you clear plastic to put over the filler as it dried?
Tried a similar repair recently. Turns out the finish of the yellow plunger was so rough that the resin just leaked past it and not into the crack. Shame.
Really sad this didnt work was hoping it would I might try anyway my crack is only from like 3 to 4 months ago
Let us know how it goes.
I was repairing a chip and it cracked. Should I continue?
Why do you people insist on giving the life history of the car? Who gives a sh*t where or why you got the vehicle? Fix the window.
What I would do is use a dust electronic spray to clean really good. Then use a vacuum on the crack - to make sure all the dust etc is gone
What did you say to clean the crack out before you start trying to fill it in
Definitely requires a technique. I did not have a good outcome. Did it three applying a little more pressure each time
Yes, I gave it my best shot and still did not work, but I have seen it done in other youtube videos
Why don't you go over it again a second time? It looks like 2 coats the Crack would be gone completely.
Did the repair work?
Not that well but I have seen it work before.
@@FlatRateMechanic do u think the conditioner was the culprit? And there is a plastic to fill lastly before the razor
Just use vacuumcleaner on crack firstly before using crack filler
your video have so many commercials is annoying
I just called the shop and I was told they wont repair anything longer than 2 inches crack...lol thats stupid just want you to pay for a new glass $500 smh

A replacement windshield is not going to be as good as The original windshield

Dude shakes bad . have a drink calm them nerves homie💯
So you didn't think to clean the crack beforehand?
Go blue!

@@glennfell2462 facts!!!!
You needed to put pressure from underneath and wash your windshield before you fixed it .

this product is meant for chip repairs not long cracks. says so on the package. probably why it didn’t work
