Windshield repair kits are sets of tools that help repair a chip or a crack on a windshield quickly and easily, saving the expense of replacing the entire windshield. These kits allow you to repair chips and cracks up to several inches long, restoring the strength and improving the clarity of a windshield. Windshield repair kits include an easy to use instruction manual that tells how to fix the damage in very little time. The kits available are compact and lightweight that make them easy to carry to any location. The kits are reusable and allow for multiple repairs. Windshield repair kits are designed to fix bull’s eyes, star breaks, cracks and combination breaks on a windshield with ease.
The basic windshield repairs kits available generally include a windshield resin that helps bond the glass, so that it becomes stronger and prevents further damage. Curing lamps are used to provide UV lights to ensure that the resin is properly cured. A bracket that has a built-in suction cup pump that adheres securely to the windshield is also provided. A drill bit that can create a tiny opening into the damaged area for the repair resin to flow into is usually included. Other items in the kit include a battery powered drill, mirror, pit, polishing wheel and compound, drill bits, 12-volt extension cord, misc. seals and glass pick.
Different types of windshield repair kits are available to suit the budget and requirements of different individuals. The cost of a windshield repair kit could range from $10 for a basic kit to more than $2000 for a professional kit. The number of windshields that can be repaired using one kit should be a criterion for selection of a suitable kit. One needs to evaluate the available windshield repairs kits in the market and find the most suitable one.
