Windshield chip from yesterday

I have two like that, and another in the long arm style. If it comes to scraping off those interior stickers down low on the dash, the extra arm length helps. But I’ve also sometimes been a painter. And at times the small ones are the ticket. But other times, the longer arm is handy.

I also have a couple of the wide ones with like 4-5" wide blades. Once long arm and a couple of short ones.

Any hardware store or paint store should sell them. I first used one to clean paint off window panes at my parent’s house in the 1960s.

does this look alright i just looked again. its rainy. will this stop the crack from spreading?

Harbor Fake strikes again . . . :rofl:

come on now. i bought the repair kit at walmart and it was rain-x brand

No one can answer that question . Only time will tell .

does my repair look normal? does it look like i did the repair wrong by any means? i never done it and it was my first. i followed the instructions thoroughly and burped the feed multiple times.

Just ditto.

You can scrape the residue off of the outside. The important goo is the stuff that hopefully got into the crack. The resin is supposed to fill that space inside of the glass. The idea is that the crack will nearly disappear, which yours didn’t. But IDK if that means anything. I’ve had it go both ways.

I can’t tell whether it looks normal since the windshield is wet. You can’t clean the crack out and start over. All you can do now is wait and hope for the best.

Every pro windshield repair I have ever seen is almost if not impossible to see where the chip or small crack is afterwards, yours looks like you hit a jellyfish doing 80 on the highway in that picture…

As already mentioned, only time will tell if it works or not… And I don’t know if I could do any better or not, that is why I have a specialist do them…
