Pro tip. When you get the plunger in and are applying pressure go on the inside take a lighter and apply a little heat to the spot. This will cause the resin to suck into the cracks. I had a professional glass repair person tell me that. I did it with mine and it worked great. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info...As I watched this video I was wondering why a lighter wasn't being used as I'd always seen one used when having my own rock chips professionally repaired
Interesting about the lighter tip. Thanks and will try that. But i thought the sun was needed for the UV rays to help cure the resin? Not just heat from a hairdryer.
@@elizabethdorchester5307 we talking about the dryer being used from inside the screen or outside? Also at what point or stage do we use the dryer? Many thanks
Good step by step video. I had surprisingly good results with this kit. Took a nickel size whitish mark on the window down to a barely noticeable distortion in the glass. Saved $120 vs going to a window repair place.
Richard Ya around here in Illinois they want $145.00 just to do one chip and if you got a chip and a crake its $240 and that they are calling that a discount
I did my repair on a cool (55°F) but sunny day and here’s a tip that helped me: I cleaned the windshield with rubbing alcohol, then left the car in the sun for 30 minutes to make sure the alcohol evaporated and to heat the windshield up a bit. I then moved the car out of the sun into the carport and did the repair per the instructions. As I slowly turned the pressure driver, I watched from inside the car as the resin seeped into all the little cracks and crevices of the damaged area. I think pre-heating the windshield helped the resin flow easier.
Even if you use a professional service, chipped glass will never be 100% the same as it was before. That turned out pretty damn good considering. The resin is meant to strengthen the glass moreso than anything else.
Great video. Repaired a chip in my windshield this morning that I had been quoted $109 for by the local Safelite glass repair company. Was told each subsequent repair would "only be $26.00" $11 for the kit from the local auto parts store and 30 minutes later - chip repaired.
Well done mate. Best video i've seen of anyone using this kit and your further applications by hand show the damage can be improved even more. I'm in the middle of repairing mine right now and just waiting on the 1st curing process! Edit: I noticed that after applying the drops into the pressure screw thing, if i tapped behind it on the inside of the windscreen continually, with the ends of my fingers, the resin spread throughout the tiny cracks that were coming off the initial chip. The more I tapped the better the resin spread within them. My chip has been sitting there for at least 6 months so it would have been better if I had done it earlier, but it has turned out perfect!

Thanks for your vid! Just did this myself. I had a bullseye and 3 small spider cracks. Was quoted $60 for the bullseye alone. The Rain-X repair kit cost me $12 from WallyWorld! And I have enough leftover to use again if needed.
I just got a chip today too! was devastated about it. Thanks for the video man it alleviated my anxiety to know that there may be a diy fix as my chip is about the same size as yours
Update:I repaired 4 chips and dings total in about an hour and a half with setting up time included. With orientation by Detailing and the Beast beforehand it all went well and there were no instructions complications. Two weeks ago I was in belief that this was work that could only be done professionally till I looked it up on the internet. Thanks DaveCHCI!
Thanks for your video! Watched before I attempted in the morning before returning a car rental. Got a nice almost dime size bullseye chip with a couple tiny arms coming off it when driving on the highway. I was able to do it in 10 min while vacuuming dog hair out of the car, prior to dropping the car back! I didn't even finish the scrapping process, but it passed the rental office visual inspection!! 😊
Nice demo, just did this myself. Mine came with about 15 of those plastic strips so after I took care of the initial crack, I took care of about 10 of those small rock chips by just using the resin and plastic. It was a LOT of razor blade scraping but the windshield looks a lot newer because of it. Thanks!
Just to say thanks for the video. With admirable determination I've waded through a whole selection of videos on repairing cracks on windscreens using Rainx and have shown considerable maturity and restraint by not leaving comments on most of them. So it's nice and refreshing to find a video which is both easy to follow and instructive and one where I can actually leave a comment which doesn't get a restraining order. Mike
Thank you! I've subscribed! I do want to make a suggestion here, I think that you could have gone with four, or maybe even five, drops of the resin in the beginning, and that would have made the final blemish practically invisible. Thank you for the lovely video, it really was very informative.
Hey man this is the only good video I’ve seen about fixing a windshield chip. This was really helpful and well-narrated and I appreciate you taking the time to post it!
I just used this and the pressure from it has increased the chip making it 3 times bigger! I've got the transparent slip on now but I doubt it'll make much difference, feck sake!🙄
Another Pro tip - "don't twist off the round ball on top of the resin... :) There's actually enough there to do at least 3 to 4 jobs. What I do is simply unscrew the top of the bottle and add the drops then quickly put it back on to save the ample supply given, for another round.... After this is done, you simply wash the plunger piece with break cleaner/carb cleaner and that resin breaks right up. Then once complete, soak the plunger piece in soapy warm water for about an hour, so that it gets rid of the break cleaner/carb cleaner chemicals and leaves the rubber supple, so it can be used again.. ;)
Hello Dave, I followed your instructions, and it worked perfectly chip has gone and the spider cracks faded, making a saving of £190.00, the rain -x cost me £10.00, thanks for sharing Best regards - Pete.
I just changed my Fucking windshield and yesterday i was driving on the freeway and some stupid construction truck throwing rocks all over and one hit my windshield making a 14 inch crack on it.
Special Mention - Thanks for showing the part where you clean out the excess damaged glass fragments with a razor blade. Soooo many people forget this very crucial step!
This worked well on a bullseye on my new Honda, but it was only partially successful on a 6 inch crack on the other side. Still better than replacing the windscreen.
Okay I went to three different glass shops One will call me back, Two said they could not do it because it was double pane? three wanted $190.00! So I got this kit and did it myself. But I over tightened it, and it broke one leg off the sucked cup.
Does it hurt (other than wasting resin) if I put more drops than I need? I’m assuming not, and I want try to avoid as much maintenance drops on a second round. So a lighter to the inside of the windshield with a bit of a distance, no harm in that huh? Also, the instructions online say to unscrew pressure driver and screw back again to display any air inside crack, but it wasn’t mentioned here. Unnecessary I’m assuming?
That Rainx mechanism looks awkward and bulky to use. Ive used the cheaper and simpler vacuum plunger types in the past that appear to do a better job. Good video demonstrating the gadget though.
I did this for 30 years. I did all my repairs in the sun. He is what thins the resin. Or you can use a lighter briefly.😅 Repair as soon as possible after the chip.😂Gil
I may give this a try. I noticed a very small crack today in the windshield of my old truck. Even a little smaller than this one. I don't care if it looks perfect, just don't want the crack to expand.
So does this only work for small chips or can it work for bigger cracks ?? I've been debating on purchasing this but your chip is so small so now I'm wondering 🤔
A blemish is always going to be visible. You can't replace glass that has been chipped away, you can only patch it. The purpose of a chip repair is to keep it from 'running out'. That being said. This patch kit seamed to do a pretty good job. And a lot cheaper than my $900 professional kit.
Thanks! I have been putting off doing my chip for months now because I was intimidated by the process! Seeing it makes this much easier to understand! Here goes nothing!
Hey there thanks for the video I just followed your instructions to the tea, I have a spider crack, and it is currently curing in the sun, The spider crack is still there does the crack diminish as the resin dries or should it look better right away because mine looks the same, Are used about six drops but it was hard to tell if the resin actually got sucked into the crack lol
Thank you sir, I appreciate this video. My chip is not as bad as yours was. I'm mostly doing mine as precautionary to fix it as opposed to letting water get in there and then freeze potentially doing further damage during the winter. I liked and subscribed as I thank you
I’m surprised this worked... I have a chip in my windshield. I don’t mind it but I did wanna fix it eventually but heaven knew I wasn’t gonna spend lots of money getting a small chip on my Windshield replaced. Knowing this exists. I might just have to try!!
I drive the highway daily and get several small chips per year. Nothing that really bullseyes out most of the time but I may have to keep one of these in my car kit for the hell of it.
I tried this and followed everything including using heat and it was a complete failure. Now it's time to take it to a windscreen repair shop. $40.00 down the drain.
Yes this worksI just repaired the chipped windshield on my tractor trailer. July 11 2024 4:10 pm Thursday afternoon. It really works The only thing that was hard was me standing on the engine of my freightliner in the hot sun ; other than that the application process was easy and simple . It probably took 30 to 35 minutes. I know theres some negative reviews but I don’t see why RAIN X WINDSHIELD REPAIR KIT IT REALLY WORKS HECK AND THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING IT . I saved probably $700 dollars for a windshield change.
@@DetailingandtheBeast oh you did a fantastic job! What I meant by better results was in how much easier it is, or at least has been for me. You put a lot of effort into it and it showed but a lot of people wouldn't be able/care enough to do so.
@@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95 interested in what you used or suggest if you can pop a brand or a link please? I'm always looking for things that are easier to use 👍
@@DetailingandtheBeast I've had success with the permatex kit but I think its less important what kit you use and more important that there is some method of pulling all the tiny little air bubbles out of the resin so that it cures as a clear plastic rather than cloudy.
Thanks for the vid, was a great help, I have just used the rainx kit and it filled the chip but I can still see it, it's an old chip and was full of dirt which I struggled to remove, and also I suspect somebody has tried repairing it it before as I had to pick out some old resin with a needle. But my question is, once I have done the repair can I redo it and is there anyway of getting the crack completely clean? Thanks again.
@@JeanPaulFernandes not sure how old the chip was, as it was there when I bought the car. I have been told you can drill the old stuff out, but obviously be careful. It's still worked though.
Yes. The kit says cracks up to a few inches I think it says. Works the same but you may have to move the applicator a few times to get the best coverage.
You will probably be able to get a much better kit for professional use. This is a very "DIY" kit and takes a long time to complete. I'd look into other more "pro" kits if I was you.
Drill a small hole into the crack, then inject the resin … The resin will fill the line crack about 2" on either side of the drilled hole .. Any crack larger than that, the windshield should be replaced ..
Okay so my windshield crack is spreading across the entire windshield & I was about to go replace mine for around $200 , can someone just confirm with me this works %100 ?
I had small rock chips on windshield but it was fixed by chip repair man and said the best he can do. Somehow still look not good at all. Can I try to re do it with this kit and expect it will be better? Do I have to clean the stuff inside first before filling it and how to clean it? Thanks for the video
Wow, is that a diesel truck? Wasn't expecting that. I'm going to try this product tomorrow on a 2017 Toyota Prius and a 1997 Ford F250 7.3 Turbo Diesel.
great video and instruction.. and no music! LOL Thanks for your time. I had Halfords do a 'professional' job on my last VW.. I naively expected it to disappear... It doesn't and it didn't. Your efforts were better. The extra time you put in made it a lot better. Thanks. I ordered a kit to put in the car.. you never know when you might need it.
I used something similar today to fix a reasonable line crack in my windshield. I cheated a little bit and applied a light amount of pressure on the underside and allowed to resin to sleep in. P.S it could make the crack longer if you do that use with EXTREME HUGE MASSIVE LARGE EXTREMELY HUMONGOUS CAUSION. That made one side almost vanish but I wish I thought of that before I did the correct side bahhh.
My car had chips that are smaller than this and had around 4 to 5 of them and took it to one of the famous car window repair shop and told me I needed to replace the whole windshield. Now I know they were lying to me.
I'm pretty sure having Safelite repair your windshield will raise your rates more when it's time to renew? because the insurance company has to pay them probably a few hundred dollars everytime and big insurance is in it to make money.
Pro tip. When you get the plunger in and are applying pressure go on the inside take a lighter and apply a little heat to the spot. This will cause the resin to suck into the cracks. I had a professional glass repair person tell me that. I did it with mine and it worked great. Thanks for the video.

I bought the same product and it says "In addition, avoid the use of glass treatments after the crack has formed and prior to repair"
By "glass treatments" do they just mean window cleaner or do they mean a water repellent like Rain X main product. I reckon they mean the latter.
They'll mean glass coatings such as water repellent. It will affect the bonding of the resin.
The best way is using the razor in 90 degrees
Just did mine perfect result with applying lighter heat from the inside of the car to the resine helped a lot applied the resin twice
This worked well on a bullseye on my new Honda, but it was only partially successful on a 6 inch crack on the other side. Still better than replacing the windscreen.

Does it hurt (other than wasting resin) if I put more drops than I need? I’m assuming not, and I want try to avoid as much maintenance drops on a second round.

Good for the cost of the kit for me solves a lot. I paid $118 to have it repaired and it's the same as with the $10 rainx kit... it's a good option
I have a windshield with electronics attached. They what $1800 to replace. Just for the heck of it I’m gonna try this and see if it works.
It made mine spread more 🙄🤦🏻♀️☹️
I’m sad lol . I probably more than likely didn’t do it right.

Glory to God for this video, almost paid $140 for a repair :P thankfully your video is very well made/informative. Thanks, m8.
What happens if its a line crack not a bullseye?? Would this still work?
Yes. The kit says cracks up to a few inches I think it says. Works the same but you may have to move the applicator a few times to get the best coverage.
@@DetailingandtheBeast This is great to know. I want to start my own business with this kit, do you think it'll be a good idea?
You will probably be able to get a much better kit for professional use. This is a very "DIY" kit and takes a long time to complete. I'd look into other more "pro" kits if I was you.
Drill a small hole into the crack, then inject the resin … The resin will fill the line crack about 2" on either side of the drilled hole .. Any crack larger than that, the windshield should be replaced ..
Okay so my windshield crack is spreading across the entire windshield & I was about to go replace mine for around $200 , can someone just confirm with me this works %100 ?
I had small rock chips on windshield but it was fixed by chip repair man and said the best he can do. Somehow still look not good at all. Can I try to re do it with this kit and expect it will be better? Do I have to clean the stuff inside first before filling it and how to clean it? Thanks for the video
what do you do if u have a long crack?
After a few times you can barely tell it was chipped I'm satisfied
Good to hear! Not bad for the price then?
Wow, is that a diesel truck? Wasn't expecting that. I'm going to try this product tomorrow on a 2017 Toyota Prius and a 1997 Ford F250 7.3 Turbo Diesel.
great video and instruction.. and no music! LOL Thanks for your time. I had Halfords do a 'professional' job on my last VW.. I naively expected it to disappear... It doesn't and it didn't. Your efforts were better. The extra time you put in made it a lot better. Thanks. I ordered a kit to put in the car.. you never know when you might need it.
I had two cracks that looked like fly sticks on windshield. I fixed it by watching your video. Very well explained. Thank you !
I have watched video twice, went outside and chips are still there. Do I need to buy product first then watch the video?
Yeah buy products from my Amazon affiliate links... then watch video and magically chip is gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:57 what did you do specifically to remove that? sorry I dont speak english natively and didnt understood very well
I used something similar today to fix a reasonable line crack in my windshield. I cheated a little bit and applied a light amount of pressure on the underside and allowed to resin to sleep in. P.S it could make the crack longer if you do that use with EXTREME HUGE MASSIVE LARGE EXTREMELY HUMONGOUS CAUSION. That made one side almost vanish but I wish I thought of that before I did the correct side bahhh.
My car had chips that are smaller than this and had around 4 to 5 of them and took it to one of the famous car window repair shop and told me I needed to replace the whole windshield. Now I know they were lying to me.
What if you can't do it inside
I'm pretty sure having Safelite repair your windshield will raise your rates more when it's time to renew? because the insurance company has to pay them probably a few hundred dollars everytime and big insurance is in it to make money.
Well done and thanks for uploading. Bout to go try this myself. Great video!!!!
screen ill skip this as terminologies are wrong. I suppose a bug screen is s glass plate?
Adios Dan Kos 🤣👋
This worked for me. I just did 4 chips and they all but dissappeared.
