this is the best Repair a Cracked Windshield vid on youtube.......very easy to understand
Thanks. I'm glad it was a help.
sixtyfiveford how did you use the drill but, by hand or is there a method to it? thanks again ;)
sixtyfiveford hey can you do this with a 24inch crack in my windshield
realvipul Barney style. Prefect for people like me who no very, very little about cars
Nice video but I wouldn’t recommend it, some windshields when you push up from the inside the crack gets bigger, it can even split into different directions also so yes drilling the crack at the end will keep it from spreading, most people will push up and the crack will get bigger and split into an entire new crack. Just spend the $150 get a new windshield
Again you find ways to keep the cost down of a repair. That's going to help a lot of people. Your work is really appreciated.
I've been watching DIY windshield crack repair videos all afternoon getting prepped to do my 4Runner and this one is BY FAR the best one I have watched. Thanks so much!! I have a long crack in my windshield very similar to yours, same place and length.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Fair play to you fella..I've been a windscreen fitter for over 20 years and I'm well impressed by your efforts..well done that man 👍🏽👍🏽
HANDS DOWN THE MOST BESTEST... SUPER MOST WONDERFUL.... EASIEST TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW... GLASS REPAIR VIDEO ON TH-cam!!!!
The repair kit manufacturer should be paying you for this video. This is the best advertisement they could hope for. Great job. I may try this next time I have a cracked windshield.
***** I've saved enough money with their kits, so I owe them.
Thanks a lot dude. I noticed a small crack in the glass vista roof on my Mustang. This is about a $2000 piece of glass. Looked at it a couple of hours later and it had started running. It grew from about an inch to around four inches in a very short time just from changing ambient temperature I guess. No professional on-site options were quickly available so I hit You Tube and eventually ran across your tutorial here. I ran to Wally World, picked up this kit and with the help of my Dremel and diamond bit stopped the crack in it's tracks and made a professional looking repair. The crack is only visible at the perfect angle in the perfect light. Totally un-noticeable if you are not looking for it. Thanks for sharing brother.
+Craig LaVergne Great, I'm glad you found the video.
Is it still working for you? Just curious.
I'm sitting here for hours watching glass repair videos, bunch of amateur videos with their $10 diy repair kit and a bunch of professional videos with their $1k kit. Your video is the only one that married the two together. Thank you!
Very helpful even after so many years. One of the best videos on this topic. Thank you!
Worked wonderfully on a 9" windshield crack started by a rock hit at the bottom left drivers side. Instead of using grease on the suction cups , I actually used those cups to press the sealer into the crack with heavy pressure since the length of the crack was relatively short. Thanks for posting, it worked!!
I've been looking for different ways to repair my cracked windshield at home rather than spending way too much to have it done professionally. GREAT video! I'll be picking up everything I need tomorrow!
+Rayna Langdon Thanks.
What a great idea with the grease. And a great application where a replacement would be a PITA.
briansmobile1 Thanks Man.
Been watching a lot of windscreen repair vids this evening and this is by far the best. Great work 👍
I don’t even know how to thank you.
Next week I’m goin on a vacation with my fiance by car and replacing glass now was the last thing I wanted. But now, thanks to you I’m saved!
And I have some extra trip money of course :D
Used this on Nov 5,2015 on a windsheild that had been installed a month before got a 1 inch chip and crack upper corner driver side. Followed direction did in shade rolled out into sun scrapped it off crack has vanished and stayed GONE. its now Dec 4,2016 still can't see any sign of crack or chip.
good job maybe you lucked out doing something new is hard to do
Crack still gone after 5 years?
well that is two things that I stand corrected on. I just bought a lansky sharpening system and after years of thinking it was just a fad/gimmick for suckers with more money than sense, Im now a believer! Now,I thought the same thing about these crack repair kits. I cant believe I just spent 300 bucks on a new windshield!
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose I've had really good luck with these kits, but I've also had a lot of practice. They won't work on every crack, but you'll be surprised what they can do.
great vid short and sweet, half the videos out there would probably would give some strange rant for five mins about the history of windshield
I have 3 inch crack starts right at the edge of windshield. Those suction cups will prevent that professional plastic thingy to get to the edge. How to get around it?
Super duper, sounds better than the $269 some place quoted me for a replacement.
We have a Toyota Camry with sensors in the windshield. Was quoted $1000.00 to replace windshield and re calibrate the sensors.
I learn something new every time you post! Thanks for sharing this.
Melody Capehart Medina Hey Thanks..
A few years ago I took my car to Safelite glass. They said they would try to repair the crack but if it didn't work I would need to get a replacement windshield from them. Guess what their repair not only didn't work but they made the crack a lot worse! I had to buy a new windshield. They did do the installl well though. After seeing your video I will be able to fix it myself next time.
Dasdfjkl I figure the worst that could happen is I need a new windshield.
thank you , this video is the best Repair a Cracked Windshield video
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks.
Once again Moe, another useful video. I especially like the grease trick to slide along the crack. I always wondered how one could fill a long crack at home (have done bullseyes with success) now I know. Thanks for sharing!
-Jack
Fireship1 Thanks Jack.
Hey, as note before, easiest video here to understand on crack repair, no wasted time.
That is awesome! How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? You did a great job on the windshield and the video!
Just bought a G35 at a discounted price because it won't pass an inspection. This is such an amazing and cheap hack. Thank you!
Haha my friend made a comment that there was no way it would pass inspection and you showed that sticker not even 5 seconds after. Nice method
The Curious Noob Hey Thanks... Yeah, I've had great luck with these kits.
sixtyfiveford b
sixtyfiveford hey man can I do this using 2 repair fix's if the crack is longer
Great help! I followed your directions including what to buy and worked great. The only deviation was I used a Dremel tool with a flat bottom, 3/32 diamond bit to make the stop hole. I was concerned the pointed glass bit would start a new crack.
+W Lewis Nicely done
Excellent vid. Love the grease idea wouldn't have thought of that.
My parents had that same motor home when I was a kid! Brings back some awesome memories! Never knew those kits could fix a cracked windshield, thought they just did chips!? Thanks for sharing
drvnucrzy Awesome, I know I get a lot of enjoyment out my mini-motorhome.
I seen kits like that and I find they "Work" good as long as it's a some what fresh crack and no shit is stuck in the crack.
***** Exactly. Also, if the crack goes all the way to the edge of the glass it is also more likely to get crap into it.
Just watched how to put a rearview mirror on which I’ve done many times before but your product caught my eye. And then you put this link in your video now I’m watching this one which is fascinating as well. Love your show, if you ever get up to North Dakota look me up I’m easy to find.
I love you're videos so much. Please don't stop with them :)
I've had this 1.5 foot crack across my windshield for a month, luckily it's not very visible from the outside, so no cops have pulled me over. It is however getting colder and I can tell it's starting to spread, I'm 100% going to follow this video, it's so easy to understand and helpful!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Very cool way to fix your windshield. Awesome. Rick
***** Hey Thanks Rick.. -Moe
Snowblower kicked a stone up and we have an 11 inch crack!! As soon as temperature rises over freezing, I'm following your advice!!! Thanks!!!!
That's stinks.
Great repair job video. I'm going to do this.
If you have the option to use chapstick but choose to use axle grease you are a mad man. Thanks for the video
Nice fix, and didn't cost much either!
Ozzstar Cheap fixes are always the best. Thanks Bro.
Nice!
I was gonna say, if you go inside and gently push on the windshield, you can see the liquid kind of "flow" into the crack.... But you did get there and point that out also....
With a little practice, you can get really good at that, and they will 95% disappear... the repair lasts, too... I have some I did years ago that are still fine....
You mentioned about "holding constant pressure and following the crack", as well as "pushing up from inside". It would have been real instructive to see you do it in action.
But alas, that's just where you sped things along making it hard to really see well.
Anyhow, thanks a lot for this; And I do mean a lot!
Maybe grease the inside of windshield,so can easily slide finger along.
Go to settings..slow vid down.
this guy just saved me from buying a 1500 dollar m550i windshield
Your freaking amazing.
SixtyFiveFord, thank you. And thank you twice more! You've saved me a lot of money in just a short while. I've watched three of your vids and now know how I'm going to clean my dirty TBI fuel injectors on my '92 Chevy. I'm also going to modify my worm gear hand winch per your methods. Looks to be the exact one that you have. And now this! I''m going to get a repair kit this afternoon and get after my cracked windshield...in my '92 pickup. That's $160 +/- for the Delco injectors and $250+ on that windshield that you are saving me. You rock!
Thanks, I'm glad you like the videos.
Hey many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧! This is now my go to video for crack repair, excellent work and explanation 🤩🤩
Glad it helped
Cool , going to try this .
wtbm123 I've had good luck with them.
This video definitely gets a thumbs up. The price to have this done "professionally" is $80. I don't care if my doing it looks 10% worse then theirs if it saves me $60.
Thanks. Most shops won't touch a crack like this.
I watched this guy re-gas the 7 up cooler, I thought he was a fridge mechanic, I just watched him repair this crack, If I had watched this first, I would of thought he was a windscreen dude. Moral here?, you are very clever mate, I will like and subscribe. You also come across with a lot of common-sense,
Thanks Mate. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.
Nice job! Turned out great!
***** Thanks man.
I can't see it. I wish I had seen this a month ago. I did a rock repair years ago, but I figured it would be a hassle to do a whole crack. Nice work.
I've had a bit of success with the plastic syringe type resin injector. It never completely removed my bulleye's but did the job I wanted them to do, which was stop the crack from growing. Next time I'll try this style. Thanks for the video!!
If you look at professionally done bull-eyes repairs, most are still very visible. I've had better luck with this style vs the syringe.
Thought I was gonna have to replace the windshield on my mustang after passing a semi dump driver and a rock made a nice long crack . This is going to be a nice DYI project to fix it and save a lot cash :] thanks
I wanted to say thank you for posting this video!! This is the best windshield repair vid on the net/utube !!! I enjoy all your vids, you are one smart fella!!!!!👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Your video just saved me over $500 for a new windshield. thanks,
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Cool video, whoever thought up using suction cups in grease has got my attention, would love to see what else they came up with.
Robb's Homemade Life Thanks Robb. -Moe
Had a truck toss up a rock and cause a 6 inch curving crack.. gonna try this out sometime in the next couple days and i’ll update. Seems like a great fix if you can do it right vs paying for a new windshield
Works good. He reason they won't fix long cracks is because the newer vehicles use the windshield as a structural member and cracks that are too long would adversely affect the strength in a collision or roll over. Nice little RV. Kinda like my 1985 Class-C Nissan.
iceman22st That makes sense. Yeah, my 87 Toyota Class C has been a fun toy. I try to take it out every year and put a couple thousand miles on it(even up to Canada). I'm taking it out tomorrow to travel the southern US (warmer weather).
just bought the kit through your link, will check home depot for the drill bit.... thank you so much for this awesome video. i think i may end up saving a few hundred dollars!
I honestly didn't think that moving the suction spider unit along the crack would work. But I was wrong! You make a good video- keep up the excellent work sir!
+Brad Perkovich I'm glad you tried it. Thanks.
+sixtyfiveford what does the suction spider do vs just hand filling it?
BoogieDownProduction
Forces the resin into the crack under pressure. This gives you a better chance at getting a completely filled crack.
Got my first crack and fixed it following this video, Thanks man appreciate you.
Glad it helped. GREAT JOB
Hi 65F, this is a terrific reference for car windows repair, clear and concise. But, I'm wondering if you have posted any follow through. Did it withstand the test of time... after so many years?! If so, please let us know to encouraged people to take a leap of faith applying your method. Thanks for sharing!
for sure man, I'll message you when said and done with the results. and again thank you cause all glass shops around sacramento want to replace the whole window for a 9 inch crack lol
Just ordered the stuff that you pinned the link to. Hopefully it will take care of the crack in my windshield. I have the exact crack as yours in the video. 🤞🏼 thank you for the video to help us, and thanks for keeping it short and to the point.
Just take your time.
Bestes Video für Reparatur einer gebrochenen Windschutzscheibe!
Danke.
If, I have a need for DIY fix it repairs, I'm coming to the 65Ford Channel. Thanks for all of the great information.
Thank you I was worried i was gonna have to replace but I have hope now
Thank you for the video. Labor cost-is the real reason why I couldn't fix my windshield right-away. Now, I need to travel more (length) with the suction tool. Yikes!
I always knew that was possible with one of those kits. I just never had the chance to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Patrick Leonard Hopefully you never do.
Video Helped me a lot, looks great on the outside, but it's still a bit visible inside. Not complaining though it is diy low price and its not an eye sore
Your video contains ads we can't skip, I hope youtube is giving you your cut for it!
Thanks for the video
Excellent video - going to give this a shot on my Jeep and see how it works. Thanks.
I try to get it done as soon as i can the kits are worth every penny
Robert Dunn Thanks Man.
Thank you Thank you Thank you best video to help me fix my long crack!
Muy útil, muchas gracias, excelente explicación y tips para hacer bien la reparación. Saludos desde México.
You got all kinds of tricks up your sleeve. Thanks for sharing your tricks..
MrMunchiemo thanks man
I'm hoping I can apply this same process to a cracked antique glass . Logically it appears it should work, but going to test it on a different piece glass first...Fingers crossed!
this kit saves me to replace my windshield, i have a huge crack almost 40 inch and it disappear
thank you greetings from Australia
Amazing! Great suggestion to open the crack from the opposite side then use grease to slide the applicator.
A LeBlanc Hey Thanks.
Cool man, thanks. I have a small 4 inch crack at the bottom passenger side of my windshield. Idk of it'll work, but its worth a shot. Thanks for making a helpful video.
Ty for the step by step process will try it this weekend
Thanks Man.
❤ omg thank you for keeping it simple! While still explaining every step.
Good way of fixing a windshield in a vehicle you probably don't drive that often, so did it pass inspection??
From the video I could not see anything.
Thank you for putting the links in your description to the 3 videos that you recommend a lot of people don't do that.
redneckbryon Hey Thanks. Yeah, it passed without even a mention!
Thanks I'll try this on my truck. BTW I put a roll of masking tape, that was too old to use, in the toaster and then it worked like new.
talon0863 Toaster... Nice trick.
We have a crack on our van windshield, I showed it ti a pro shop and they told me if the crack is longer than a dollar bill it can't be fixed, ours is about 8" long and the crack is about 7 years old.
Maybe I should have you fix it...LOL
***** That's nice if it isn't growing. This crack came from the tiniest rock chip I got last year. I noticed it had turned into a 3-4" crack late last fall and thought I would handle it come spring time. Well it grew over the winter to what you saw.
sixtyfiveford Winter can do a number on windshields. I once saw a large van windshield crack from the temperature difference because of turning the defrost up too high too fast.
I'm really appreciate for the link I have the crack and my windshield and always want to fixed but to Expensive !!!! Thank you so much for you video and explain very professional. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Great video. Tried it and failed. As I tried to use drill bit by hand. Was working but as I got deeper crack progressed. To afraid to use power drill on my windshield. Dremal might have worked better. But do not have access to one. I am taking it in to have it repaired for $60.
Very informative, going to try it now, Thanks!
I had a rock hit my windshield that grew to 10 inches after like a week.
That's discouraging when they grow so quickly.
Nice work buddy! Saved some big bucks and passed inspection! Hope it is stopped for good!
MRrwmac Hey Thanks. The glue seams very very strong so I hope it stays put for a couple years.
Great tip , I used those kits before on spots , I will give it a try on my Honda !!
ShawnMrFixit Lee Thanks Bro.
Sweetness. I been getting pulled over for my inspection but it’s just cause I can get it inspected cause my windsheid. Thank you I’m for sure going to try this hopefully I won’t mess up lol
Love these videos, very helpful for the everyday repairs!
Got myself a nice one from some damn interstate work. Nice tutorial, gonna give it a try
Take you time and you'll be pleased with the results.
65 thanks for all your great vidios ,,, !!! you have really passed on a lot of valuable info on everything ,,, thanks again ,,, your a cool cat for sure
Thanks Man.
Awesome! Thank you good sir! I honestly can't thank you enough for giving me some hope that I won't have to replace my windshield. (The crack in my windshield spread over a foot on my way back from work today...so I have been extremely salty haha) I will try it out this week and I will check back in and let you/ and fellow youtubers know if it worked for my windshield.
Take your time and do it out of the sun. Let me know how it goes for you.
That worked smashing, hope they passed it :-)
ive done a bullseye for a frend and it sort of worked, i followed the instructions exactly, so my conclusion is some kits work better than others.
zx8401ztv Thanks. Yeah, they have their place in the fix it world. Won't work flawlessly in every situation but will in a lot. I found that drilling the chip out a little helps give the resin somewhere to go.
Wow!! thank you very much, you've helped me already.. been worrying about this on my windshield.
Awesome, I'm glad the video was helpful.
This is worth the shot, I don't even want to know the cost to replace the windshield.
I've had great luck with it over the years.
thanks man this really helps a lot! I bought the rain X repair kit and going to try it here pretty soon.
+Brad Satanek Take your time in the shade and you'll be impressed.
That stuff on the inside is called interlayer, is laminated tempered glass.
