He’s smart, he explains everything you need to know, and gives great advice and tips, and he’s friendly. It’s no wonder he’s got 4 million car lovers watching his videos daily, myself included

Jay Beasley agreed. Even the thought and follow through process. I mean at the end of the video he shows a before shot and you can tell he specifically shot it and then shows the after shot. Other (most people) take a before frame and just shoot an after video and show it side by side. This 12:11 minute video took probably 3 hours to make and the process probably only takes 1 hour with drying time. Not to mention the editing afterwards. Attention to detail is 10/10. Out to chip and fix all the window now. 😂👍👌

I know these kits exists, and I know they can be used for good results. But I guess to elaborate on what impressed me, is Chris's method of nicely explaining how it works and how to properly use the kit to it's full potential. Also how cheap it costs, when comparing to getting it done at a glass-shop, where most people would go to without a hint of research before dumping ~$150 for a repair (without insurance).

Chris, I was a windscreen technician for about 3 years for Autoglass in the UK. That chip came out better than some of the guys doing it for about 10 years. Also that kit you used had pretty much everything you need minus the UV bulb and glass polish. We used to have a vaccume pump and a specilised unit that you could load your repair resin in. I love your videos, keep up the good work!

immi111190 I was a tech for 4 years I was a bit sceptical but this video isn't too bad. Important note to remember is that you can't always see the full extent of the damage even after" flexing it" to open it up for the resin to flow. If your insurance doesn't cover it this isn't a bad method

As a former firefighter, laminated windshields are great for saving you from flying glass, debris and of course as a structural component but man it is hard for cut even with windshield saws it takes a lot of energy to cut it out to get in, so keeping your windshield in tip top shape is crucial, good job Chris, keep up the good work!

Others still left a very noticeable crack, but this one lives up to it's title: the windshield does look like brand new. Thanks for the step by step instructions, and the little hints along the way that obviously make a huge difference in how well the chip goes away.

Great video, Chris. I had my car inspected (Tx. Registration requirement). Some schmo asked me if I wanted the little chips repaired. I said okay, then he put a dab of super glue (or something of the like) on the chips and charged my insurance $75. It was a waste of money. The "repair" hardened and the resin faked off. Now I have to fix it on my own. Thanks for the video Chris!

I remember thinking I wouldn't use this back when it came out lol. 5.5 years later and I just fixed my windshield for $10 after going to 2 of my past shops and finding them closed down. Thanks Chris! A couple of pro tips for any readers: The manual says to keep the syringe in vacuum for 10 mins, do it. Use a plastic razor instead of the metal one provided. The Pilkington glass on my Accord is very soft and the included razor started scratching it while removing the adhesive so I used my plastic one and didn't have any further problems (no ugly screeching sound either).

Thank you so much! I'm just outside NYC and I was quoted $160 by Safelite which is just crazy because I know they do it for the insurance companies for less than half of that! I had a small chip that started to spread and I had very little hope for this product to actually work but it did. I never saw air bubbles with the vacuum and I blew out the plunger trying to add too much pressure but despite all of that it came out perfect. I applied a touch of heat with a heat gun on low during the vacuum and I knocked on the glass during both the vacuum and pressure phases. The slight heat and the knocking really seemed to get the resin in the crack. Thanks again!

Used your video to do a repair on my windshield. I had seen an older video of yours, but I'm glad I saw this updated vid. Your tips and such were great. I used the Permatex kit that you had in an older video, and it worked great. I had a star crack from a rock, and the product worked outstanding. While there is a slight amount of "frosting" from where the impact was, all of the spider cracks and the small bulls eye are gone. Unless I knew where to look, there's no sign of a crack. Appreciate the help.

Hey Chris! I'm a new subscriber and I just found your channel. I immediately subscribed because you put so much effort into your cars. Your attention to detail is incredible. I know you spend lots of money for your videos but it is all for the best. Whenever you add rigs to your cars ( LED night bar, auxiliary reverse lights), I am completely mind blown on how you manage to have the right tools and the right brain to do the job. Also you are doing extremely well in drifting. ( I watched nearly all your videos after subbing!) Greetings from Australia! Best of luck in the future!

Very helpful. 2 things to note (from the instructions: - at the step when you pull back on the syringe (to create a vacumm) leave it like that for AT LEAST 10min - At the step when you depress the plunger (to push the resin into the crack) leave the plunger depressed for AT LEAST 20 min Also if you dont have painters tape to catch any resin that might run down the windshield, you can also use a post it note. Just place the sticky side near the crack and fold up on the paper to make a spot to catch it. If you slowly fill the reservoir with resin so it just reaches the top, you most likely wont have any spilled resin anyway

Impressed the kit worked that well, I do chip repair all the time as an apprentice and it alot more intensive, involving first drilling the chip with a Dremel and then pulling it into a vacuum and injecting resin, then you heat it from the inside. And of course curing it after with a uv lamp and a protective film

Chris's results had me hoping for amazing but I'm going to have to settle for decent. TIP, expanding on Chris's suggestion on extra pressure. I put another notch in the plunger about 3/4" up.

Chris, I love your videos. I restored my headlights and detailed my older car following your instructions and it brought my old car back to life. My wife has a newer car and just got a chip in the window. I came straight here to look for the fix. I feel confident that I could use the resin repair kit, but there is no hole over the damage to her windshield. The exterior of the window is smooth above the damage (smooth on the interior as well). Your laminated glass demonstration helped me understand how this is possible. Is there a DIY fix for that?

Sometimes the crack or void will be so small, Only a few nanometers in with. So tiny and thin that not only can you not fill it with your finger nail, or a thumbtack like he shows in the video… But you can’t even feel it with the sharpest point of an X-Acto knife, Or even a fine sewing needle. But using the plunger and vacuum method duck… The resin will find its way down into the void. Maybe even heat that area of the windshield very gently and slowly with an air dry or small electric heater… or let it sit in the sun… The resin will get drawn into the void. Maybe wipe it all off really good, If you’re really having a trouble with penetration you could possibly even thin the resin. You could also use 99% alcohol and compressed air to degrease the outer perimeter… and it will also help not push any grease, wax, or other oily residue down into the void.
