Permatex 09103 Automotive Windshield Repair Kit For Chipped And Cracked Windshields. Permanent Air-Tight Repairs, With Repair Syringe & Plunger, 9-piece Kit

Used this on a small windshield chip and it worked much better than expected. The instructions were easy to follow and the crack became a lot less noticeable after the repair. Great way to prevent small chips from spreading and save money on windshield replacement.

I keep one in my car at all times. I've got maybe ten chips in my windshield. A couple of them are pretty serious. I fixed a chip/star from a cement truck on the highway that's an inch and a quarter across a year ago (I cut an extra sized hole in the double sided sticky pad). Great product.

I bought this Permatex windshield repair kit to handle a tiny crack on my car's front glass. it was pretty easy to use, and the syringe helped make a tight, long-lasting seal. felt good to fix it myself instead of going to the shop. a few things could be better, like clearer instructions. but overall, it worksd well and saved me some money. perfect for quick fixes when you're on the go 🚗. Glad I have this in the glove box for emergencies!

I found this product very helpful for fixing a small crack on my car's windshield. The damage was about an inch wide, and after following the instructions carefully, I managed to repair it without much trouble. I chose to let it cure overnight in my garage rather than in sunlight, and the result was good. Any leftover residue was simple to clean off. Since then, I haven't noticed the crack reappearing or spreading. I'm happy I gave this a try.

Have used this product several times before, so the technique was relatively easy for me. However, this time my tube had very little resident in it. Period my first step was, of course, too put the tube on put the rest in in after sucking the air out, pushing the resident in. After the appropriate time, I took the standoff put another drop on the chip as directed in flat it out using the plastic and razor blade provided. First of all this was a very small chip in the windshield probably the smallest one I’ve ever filled. Wood after being a cure out in the Florida sun, and taking the clear sheet off I noticed a slight imperfection in the middle of the field chip. The rest of the chip looked fine, but there was a little “pimple“ in the middle of it. Since the “pimple“ was actually lower than the rest I couldn’t use a razor blade to even it out. So I went back to my tube. Could one more drop on it and only haul the tube was empty. As I said, I’ve used these kids before, but this one definitely was short of resin and it was disappointing as this kid as known as one of the best on the market and as I said, I’ve used it several times, but this was very disappointing this time. Unfortunately, I didn’t use it till after the allowed return although I probably wouldn’t have bothered since it was only a $20 item but again very disappointed.

I was was on the interstate, driving my relatively new car to a car show a few hours away, and THWAP! -- a piece of gravel or something hit my windshield. The damage looked HUGE from the driver's seat, but when I stopped and examined it, it was not as large as a US dime and, in rock-chips-windshield parlance, looks like it was a "bullseye" type crack. I immediately texted my car-exterior guy, asking if he knew of someone who repairs such things and he -- after sympathizing with what happened -- replied in the negative, so I was on my own. I was going through my usual mental gymnastics: if I have the windshield replaced, there's a small deductible, but what if they mess it up and it leaks? Or they don't replace the lane-keeping camera properly? Or, or, or? Sigh. I something-searched for repairing cracked windshields and was reminded of repair kits. Long ago, I'd used one on another vehicle and even had some kid outside the grocery store fix a chip a couple years ago, but neither of those experiences were particularly stellar, so I didn't have a great deal of confidence with the repair-kit route. On the other hand, I figured the worst that happened was I tried a kit, the outcome was horrible, and then I'd have the windshield replaced and deal with whatever came of that. So I ordered this Permatex kit (it was significantly cheaper than a competing kit and that was a big factor in my deciding to go with this one) and watched a video or two from actual people (as opposed to the manufacturer) who threw in a couple of wisdom nuggets that I made a mental note of. The kit arrived with typical Amazon expediency and, finding some time in my schedule, moved my usually-parked-outside car into the garage to begin the repair. (I think that's important because the resin cures by exposure to UV in sunlight, so I didn't want it to start to cure until it was supposed to start to cure.) One of the first steps is to use the provided pushpin to clean out any loose glass or other debris from the surface of the chip. I did that and it dawned on me that loosening up said debris around with the end of a pushpin is fine, but I probably wanted to get that stuff out of there, not just move it around, so I grabbed a cordless vacuum cleaner and used it to (hopefully) remove all of the loose fragments. I figured that would give the resin the best chance at filling in the break in the glass, vs. its having to work around any remaining loose debris. While the instruction sheet is jam-packed with information and I wish that it was a little more checklistable/readable, the rest of the repair process was relatively straightforward. I followed the steps as best I could (my spouse was washing our dog in the middle, so I left to help her during the wait-at-least-20-minutes parts of the repair) and it was going pretty well. I heeded the suggestion to place a paper towel below the chip to catch any resin drips and -- being a careful guy -- was doubting the need for such a thing. However, when I was removing the pedestal from the window, it popped off, and drops of resin shot in unexpected directions. Some of it landed on the wiper blade (which I wiped off) and I didn't see any on the paint, but if it is, hopefully, it will come off. All of which is to say, you may want to proceed very gently when you are removing the pedestal and adhesive circle because there's a bunch of resin in there. Maybe cover the whole deal with a paper towel (in addition to a paper towel below) to catch any resin drops that fly away. Anyway, I think I dodged a bullet there, but we shall see. I cleaned up the excess resin, applied the drop of resin and clear square to the repair, moved the car into the driveway, and -- since it was partly sunny (not fully sunny) -- set a timer for an hour. Due to the plastic and surrounding resin, it was hard to tell what the end result was going to look like, but even at that point, it was looking WAY better than it did before I started. Either way, I figured that it was going to be what it was going to be, so nothing to be done if it was less than great. After the waiting time elapsed, I went out to gently peel off the plastic square and scrape off the excess resin and it looked amazing! The damage evolved from a clearly visible chip through the glass to a small, slightly rough dot (about the size of this letter "O" right here on my display). There was resin goop in the vicinity, so I grabbed some denatured alcohol and a paper towel and cleaned it all up as best I could, trying to keep away from the aforementioned dot, figuring it should continue to cure without my getting it wet with alcohol. While it would be great if that little dot was not there, I'm really pleased with the repair. My exterior-car guy suggested some sort of film over the windshield to lessen the likelihood of these, but I may save that for when I get an actual new windshield and when I get my next chip (which I imagine will come eventually), I'll be trying this kit again. One potential downside (not for me in this case, fortunately) is that one of the first items in the instructions is that this kit is "for bullseye chips only". Looking back, I see where the product page does mention that, but if I'd had a different kind of chip, I might have missed that detail. And when I was searching earlier to see what kind of chip I had, the only images I was finding looked like they came from a 1950s coloring book, so I wasn't really even certain that I had a bullseye chip. Fortunately, I did -- or at least whatever I did have worked with this kit. Phew! While I hope that you never get a chip in your windshield, if you do and it is a bullseye, I hope this kit works for you as well as it worked for me!

John's wife is writing this review as I fixed my own windshield thank you very much! OMG! I see it and I still can't believe it. So I drive a car that has a magnet windshield- every rock comes right at it and it's always on Route 80. First week i had the car- bam, rock hit it and it was a $179 Safelite trip. Two weeks later, bam, another rock and another $179. Well, this past week, rock came crashing at it again....problem is, I'm not currently working so I don't have the $179. I also couldn't let the windshield stay the way it was because it is a lease and I don't want this thing to turn into a $600 windshield replacement. This time, the rock hit the black border of my windshield. I've got to mitigate my damages here and I've got a kid going to college and I haven't a dime to spare. So I figured let me try and do this on my own. I'm either going to succeed or not and if not, I start working in September again and I'll find the money. So I started to research various window crack repair kits on Amazon- always reading the 1 star reviews. This product's one star reviews almost always attributed the one star to user error. They didn't read the instructions all the way through or they used all the resin and didn't have any for the final step or some other malady that wasn't product driven. So I bought it. Waited for a sunny day and off I went. I watched the video and read and re-read the instructions. (a lot of reviews said to do that so i did) A lot of reviewers were angry that they used all the resin in the first phase and didn't have any left for the second phase, so I made sure not to use all of it. I was conservative with it. But I used about 1/2 the resin and then did the syringe. Just a note with the resin. They tell you to put the cap back on the resin tube but the tube doesn't have a cap. I took the pushpin and stuck it in the hole to keep it from leaking. The suction into the syringe was so tight and the metal security bar was so loose that this was my biggest problem of the entire process. You need to suck all the air out with the syringe but it is hard to get to the second notch. So I settled on the first notch on the syringe and had to fiddle my way of reattaching the metal security latch back onto the syringe and letting it set. As I was reviewing the instructions again, I realized about 8 minutes through the 10 minute wait time that the instructions specifically state to put the metal security latch on the second notch. So I pulled as hard as I could and put the latch on the second notch and gave myself an additional 4 minutes of time. When time was up, I followed the instructions again and let the air push in to help cure it and let it sit again. When it was done and I took off the stickers and guide, the crack was pretty much gone! I put the resin on the spot as the instructions said, put the plastic film over it and moved my car to the sun. When time was up and I took the film off, I could not believe my eyes. I am the BIGGEST skeptic in the world and here this thing actually worked. The after photo is with a flash but if you look at it in person, you can't even see the spot. If you have a crack, try this first. Read and reread all the instructions. Watch the video. Make sure you get to the second notch. Be patient. Use your timer. And Good Luck. I will NOT be going to Safelite anymore...sorry!

A decent windshield repair kit. Used to address a small rock ship on my father's SUV. Written instructions were a bit confusing. Going into the Permatex website and looking at their videos helped clarify the directions. Not too difficult of a process. It has a few steps and each step has several minutes that you wait before moving on to the next step. As a tip from several videos, when scraping off the resin, place the blade at a 90 degree angle against the glass and scrape (don't slide the blade sideways as it may pull off your repair if not fully cured). The repair made the chip 80% less noticeable. The repair is also smooth, not detectable by running your fingernails over the site. It's not magic and a smaller evidence of damage may remain. The resin will lessen the damaged area's visible imprint and will protect against a crack spreading as the resin cures within the chipped glass. This Permatex kit provides enough material for only one chip repair.

高速走行時に飛び石でフロントガラス中央に小傷ができました。近所にリペアショップが見当たらなかったのと、小さめの傷だったのでDIY製品で対処しようと思いました。 同じような商品がいくつか用意されていたので非常に迷いましたが、最終的にレビューを参考に購入を決めました。 日本語の説明書がないことはわかっていましたが、「傷を密閉して減圧し、樹脂を傷の奥まで浸透させる→樹脂を日光にあてて硬化させる→余分な樹脂を付属のカミソリで整えて完成」という流れが写真とともになんとなくわかります。 あとは、減圧し続ける時間や、硬化させる時間をきちんと守ればたいてい成功するのではないかと思います。 付属している注射器や、ガラスに貼り付ける器具や両面テープ、UV硬化樹脂、カミソリといった同梱品がどれも高品質で、つくりがしっかりしているところに関心しました。 気温は10度程度で真冬の日差しでしたが、樹脂はしっかり硬化し、傷もほぼわからなくなりました。 目的が達成できて非常に満足しています。作業時間は、減圧、硬化の待ち時間をすべて入れて５０分くらいでした。 樹脂の耐久性については分かりませんので、その後の様子については何か変化があればレビューしたいと思います。

This is easy to use. Repair was simple following the instructions and where the pit was is now almost invisible from the outside and completely invisible from the inside.

Worked great, firstly it's ment to be done under cover till it needs to be cured. I waited a bit longer during the sucking out air stage because I could see bubbles still from the inside. Then when I had to push the syringe plunger down to 2nd notch I waited longer there to, bobbing my head up and down in all different angles, till I practically couldn't see any light glinting in the tiny cracks. I used a UV light to cure as it was an overcast day and did 2 sets with the setting sheet. You can only just see some of the chip in the 2nd pic as I forced my camera to focus on it which was difficult.

Soldi buttati non serve a niente
