I always was unsecure taking hands on my own car to repair stuff, but since I found your channel I changed brake pads and disks, alternator, glowplugs and so on its superfun and you can save so much money, you are a real hero, keep it up!!!
***** I lost count of how many chips I have fixed but this is number 3 that I made a video for. I try to cover each type of chip. Next I need to do a crack!
+ChrisFix my car's windscreen has been chipped since i first got it in 2008 (my fault) your video gave me some confidence to fix it myself and just yesterday i saw an almost identical kit appear on amazon cheaply so i picked it up. just wanted to say thanks for helping me and others repair their own things :)
I realize this is an old video.... but I just used the Rain-X kit... Worked great. My windshield is amazing. Thank You Chris. My only slight addition to your video would be, if it doesn't seem to fill the whole starburst, just LET IT SIT. Hit it with a heat gun a little maybe. I got a phone call, and when I got back, the crack was totally filled perfect....
Awesome videos Chris. I’ve been watching for about 4 years and got a chip in my windshield this morning. Was cautious to do it myself since windshields can be an expensive fix but once I saw you made a video on it will definitely do it myself! I always refer your videos to people my dude. You are the Jesus of the TH-cam automotive industry!
Wow! Single mom here and your vids are so helpful! Not afraid anymore of my vehicle or ask questions to mechanics or what product to use to clean my car. THANK U!
after the fixture is mounted over the crack and the resin is under pressure.... it helps to take a lighter and add heat to the inside of the glass a little under the chip. this heats the lamination between the glass and helps the resin spread to all of the cracked area.. dont heat for more than about 25 30 sec. and keep the flame about half inch away. lighter only! no heat gun or tourch..(too much heat at once)glass tech. for 10 years now.
wow chris i love your videos. i am 12 yrs old and from the uk. i love cars and am learning engineering and your videos are helping me become a mechanic. i never thought i would learn something on youtube especially with this amount of detail.thanks. i don't think i need to say i described.
thanks for the help. just fixed a star chip on my mom's Rav4. well, I'm in the middle of letting it cure, but it's a lot cheaper than getting it professionally done.
I had a bullseye just like this. I followed your video and fixed it today. My results weren't as good as yours but your video was a great help. Thanks!
I like how over the years he started getting so much more enthusiastic about what he was doing - you can hear the amount of energy he has in his voice when making videos in 2019
8:14, when you remove the plunger, it can create a vacuum, It may help to screw in and remove the plunger a few times to remove air pockets. Other tips I saw on YT, is to tap the glass with the wet resin, slight heat from inside from a hairdryer or lighter, and polishing the final cured resin.
I’ve used this before. It works pretty good. One suggestion Chris. Do Not Clean with windex or cleaner for a few days. Or that’s what the kit say I believe. Thanks Chris. Love your videos.
Nice video Chris. I have done a few of these and think the Rain-x kit works the best. It's imperative (as you said) to note these need to be repaired as soon as possible to avoid spread of the crack.
Very good video. Much easier to follow your instructions than written ones in the kit. Also much better than some of the other videos where the creator has no clue about the process and just rambles on without a clue.
This video may be old but the results are still the same, Damn good. The auto shop wanted to charge me for a brand new windshield instead of a simple filler. Thanks
I have many years of auto glass experience. Did you know your windshield has been replaced before? That PGW stamp on the glass if aftermarket Glass. PGW is a good brand so good job with that. Also if you ever have spots that need filled a little extra taking a lighter lightly around the chip for about 3-5 seconds helps. Great video. Keep up the good work!
HauntedPurpose you can also vacuum it a second or third time to get those dark spots out which looks like air bubbles or maybe has some moisture inside. I also am a certified glass tech by GlassWorld.
Put a mirror behind the chip on the inside of the screen. This way you can keep an eye on how much pressure you pushing the resin in with the plunger and you can see how well the repair is going as you do it. DO NOT wind the plunger all the way in, especially if you put more resin in as this can force the chip to crack further and completely fuck your screen. Allow the the resin to sit for a few minutes before unwinding plunger to release trapped air. You can repeat the process as many times as you like untill you think it wont improve anymore. Applying some subtle heat from the inside behind chip can help open the glass up and allow the resin to flow in further. DO NOT get too hot. The sooner you fix the chip the better the result. I repair and replace windscreens for a living in the UK. Although this kit he is using is a very basic likeness its nowhere near as good as professional kits. UV lights are used to ensure the resin cures off properly. And pretty sure the tapping on the screen will do fuck all haha
That was an excellent video, Chris ! The best windshield chip repair video I've seen so far. The underside view was a great idea. It was like watching a professional commercial that's actually informative.
Mine is in the same dang place! I've used kits like this before but this video just makes it easier so I don't have to read and reread all the directions as I am a perfectionist thanks!
Most auto insurance companies provide $0 deductible coverage for this sort of windshield repairs. So unless you're hellbent on DIY, maybe give your auto policy a call first to see if they'll send somebody out to do it professionally.
Been watching ur channel for years, and this came in handy today. I also used a lighter on the inside to help get rid of air bubbles and soften the resin to fill the entire chip. Just make sure you don't have a tinted windshield if you try that... Also, after all these years, at the 1:07 mark, I was smiling. Iykyk.
Awesome product, I've used 3 times on my windshield, as long as you follow the instructions to the dot it works great. Thank you for the tip to tap the glass to get air bubbles out!
Chris, Very good demonstration and explanation of procedures. I appreciate your efforts to help educate everyone. The Rain-X product seems ok, but I think I prefer the alternate product. I've been repairing and replacing autoglass for 30 years and am an NBA certified master tech., so I understand the differences. I TOTALLY agree with a previous comment to IMMEDIATELY cover an impacted area after discovery. We suggest to use clear Scotch Tape, but a band-aid will work also. Anything you can do to inhibit dirt and moisture from infiltrating the impacted area will help produce a better repair. Also, when air bubbles are still present, to use a Bic lighter, FOR ONLY A FEW SECONDS, and warm an area twice the size of your impact, will "excite " and expand the air molecules and force them out of the impact, making room for more resin to create a more uniform repair. Another thing for everyone to consider, IF you have comprehensive insurance coverage, is that most insurance companies will pay for the repair and waive your deductible if you work with a service provider associated with that particular insurance company. Again, great video and very informative. Thanks! GO GATES BROTHERS GLASS!
i know this is old and probably been mentioned but oh well, but to help with the process, place a micro fiber over the whole thing to shield it from sun to allow the resin to flow to further crevices. another tip is to use a lighter on the inside of the windshield, and NO, a bit of heat will not damage the windshield BUT excessive heat can, so only small flashes of 2-3 seconds with a lighters. and while i was working as a windshield repair tech for boyd, we used a tiny drill with a tiny drill bit to drill through the first layer of glass to allow the resin to get every where. the size of the bit was about the size of the point of a ball point pen.
Thx for video! I bought a Camaro about 6 months ago and ended up getting a small chip right in driver's pov. Absolutely drives me crazy while driving. Trying this later.
Chris, I have to say after watching a few of your videos that I'm highly impressed. I like the permatex better, I think the results speak for themselves. Anyhow I'm now a subscriber and your channel is the bomb !
Thank you for making this video. I suffered a star shaped chip right in the centre of my 13 year old Citroen C5 the other day. I bought a RainX kit from the local Repco store. All good until it came to reading and understanding the instructions, something I can struggle with. I found your video and just got on with it. There were some challenges. My car is Accord sized and pretty wide. It has a deceiving slightly convex windshield. The weather was playing around also. I got there though. Very happy with the result. Many thanks once again. Oh, and I've subscribed too....
Great video, thank you. Came out amazing. I've seen those products, I just assumed they were crap. My truck has a couple "star" style chips... I may try this. You seemed pretty honest with the camera.... Not 100% perfect, but it looked 95% to me, I could barely see anything.... I look forward to your videos. Thanks!
Patrick Morrissey Thanks Patrick! Yea, this kit works pretty good and what you see is what you get! Definitely consider subscribing! New automotive 'how to' videos every Thursday and most Mondays so stay tuned!
I recently used the permatex and did as you said on the video but it didn't really turn out as good. there was a noticeable change but it was still quite visable. I might want to try this one next time
Hey Chris, thanks for the help getting my 2001 Tundra windshield fixed (lasted more than a year until a new rock hit my windshield). It would be awesome if you did an "Ignition lock cylinder" repair video in the future
Yeah... just got a new 2018 RAV4 Limited just month ago...week half ago had crystal fusion wjnshield done.... day ago it rained and a spot front of me (winshiled) about 5 ×7 wasnt treated right as or do behind the curtains .. i noticed that the (Sprinkled) drops wasn't streaming off the glass shield... they were stationery just moving slow and i was on the highway.. i turned wiper off..i thought it s the wiper..but how when this car is new..but you can see streaks of the measurement i mentioned... poorly half fast job for i paid off on it!..wemt back to dealer so they re-did it again.. hard to tell when its dark how good theyve done... took it to the carwash to see it better..not enough lighting..but noticed..theres a pin chip..it wasnt there before unless on way home on hwy traffic might of gotten a little...pebble! Cant really see it from outside much but when ur in drive seat .you can see it especially from a little glare from lightpost.. i may fill it in with super glue ..just egde of a sewing pin should probably do it!
Just used the RainX kit and it worked. I have a Safelite repair on the same windshield and was about to do it again until the quote came back at $150. I love the Safelite service, but when I found this video I thought what the hell. If you are willing to do it and listen to the instructions it works. I had a star shaped chip and it filled it. I can see a little of it, but it's the same result from what I can see from a safelite repair on the same windshield.
Just found your channel and its very good information all around. I like that you actually explain the science behind how everything works. You just got another subscriber.
+anna kavalov Think "your teeth" vs "sharp dentist tools". Silicon(glass) is harder then iron(razor). Glass is the "ice" state of silicon(temperature is relative), and ice took out the titanic.
A few weeks ago I saw a video about a chip in a windshield. Pushing on the outside of the windshield didn't crack the windshield, not even when they pushed very hard on the chipped area itself. But when they pressed on the chip from within te car the winshield cracked almost immediately. But because this mount is usually on the outside it probably won't further damage your windshield.
Our insurance policies cover it, but if we choose to make a claim (utilize it), our monthly principle will often go up in price, so it's not worth it to do so on something so minor. There are really expensive monthly policies that would cover it without an increase, but the base monthly price is much much higher. In America, it's only worth having this tier of insurance for new vehicles (unless it's someone else's fault for the damage, in which case THEIR insurance would cover it).
I don't have a car, nor a driver's license. It's nearly 2am, I have hours of homework due in a few hours that is not done. What in the world am I doing with my time.
I always was unsecure taking hands on my own car to repair stuff, but since I found your channel I changed brake pads and disks, alternator, glowplugs and so on its superfun and you can save so much money, you are a real hero, keep it up!!!

Most auto insurance companies provide $0 deductible coverage for this sort of windshield repairs. So unless you're hellbent on DIY, maybe give your auto policy a call first to see if they'll send somebody out to do it professionally.
Jonathan Stewart but you would still be paying a shit ton on insurance, alot of people cant afford it.
call your insurance for such a tiny crack? LOL yeah right
would that raise the premium the next time you renew the insurance?
No. Insurance premiums go up after claims measured in thousands of dollars, not tens or hundreds of dollars.
it's a free service unless you get your windshield replaced. maybe you should read your policy.
Been watching ur channel for years, and this came in handy today. I also used a lighter on the inside to help get rid of air bubbles and soften the resin to fill the entire chip.

david hancock Let me know how it goes!
Chris,
Very good demonstration and explanation of procedures.
I appreciate your efforts to help educate everyone.
The Rain-X product seems ok, but I think I prefer
the alternate product.
I've been repairing and replacing autoglass for 30 years and am an NBA certified master tech., so I understand the differences.
I TOTALLY agree with a previous comment to IMMEDIATELY cover an impacted area after discovery.
We suggest to use clear Scotch Tape, but a band-aid will work also. Anything you can do to inhibit dirt
and moisture from infiltrating the impacted area will help produce a better repair.
Also, when air bubbles are still present, to use a Bic lighter, FOR ONLY A FEW SECONDS, and warm an area twice the size of your impact, will "excite " and expand the air molecules and force them out of the impact, making room for more resin to create a more uniform repair.

Hassan Ali That is a good one. I will have to look into that.
Just found your channel and its very good information all around. I like that you actually explain the science behind how everything works. You just got another subscriber.
Great video!
***** Thanks!
help a lot this video fixed my windshield chip 99% well done. thanks
How does the razor not scratch the window??
+anna kavalov ..... serious? have you ever tried scratching the front windshield ? it's pretty damn hard
+anna kavalov same reason your razor doesn't cut you (or shouldn't cut you) when you shave. you just have to hold it at the right angle.
+anna kavalov Think "your teeth" vs "sharp dentist tools". Silicon(glass) is harder then iron(razor).
Glass is the "ice" state of silicon(temperature is relative), and ice took out the titanic.
stainless steel Razor Blades wont scratch Glass, Its what all tint professionals use to clean glass before tinting.
glass is a 6 on the hardness scale and the razor is only a 4.5
A few weeks ago I saw a video about a chip in a windshield. Pushing on the outside of the windshield didn't crack the windshield, not even when they pushed very hard on the chipped area itself. But when they pressed on the chip from within te car the winshield cracked almost immediately. But because this mount is usually on the outside it probably won't further damage your windshield.
***** Thanks for sharing! That is interesting!
Why am i watching this when im a 14yr old and i dont even own a car 😂
Thanks. We fixed our window chip. Thank you for the video instructions.
Thankkkkk yooouuu!
You are more than welcome!
Katie Snyder and
Nice hat :) In France most insurance policies cover this repair. I guess it's not the case everywhere. Highly informative as usual!
+Jert1000 thanks!
Our insurance policies cover it, but if we choose to make a claim (utilize it), our monthly principle will often go up in price, so it's not worth it to do so on something so minor. There are really expensive monthly policies that would cover it without an increase, but the base monthly price is much much higher. In America, it's only worth having this tier of insurance for new vehicles (unless it's someone else's fault for the damage, in which case THEIR insurance would cover it).
thanks...
You're welcome
I used this very same kit last year, worked like a champ.... Nice Vid!
G8GTATL Man Thanks for sharing man! I will be using this kit for now on. I really liked how it worked!
I don't have a car, nor a driver's license. It's nearly 2am, I have hours of homework due in a few hours that is not done. What in the world am I doing with my time.
BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN. Fantastic explanation. 🥰
2:19 face reveal guys!
Awesome! I saw this kit at Walmart but wasn't sure how well it worked. Glad to see it how well it does. I'll get now! thanks
+Mecal00 Nice!
In florida, if we have a chipped window, we get it done for free by our insurance and our rate wont go up! SO come on down!!!
