It is possible to repair windshield cracks with a simple do-it-yourself kit. The kit will include several tools that are used in repairing the windshield. Most cracks under 30 inches can usually be repaired, ones over that size have a lesser chance of being repaired.
The steps to repair your windshield are fairly easy and simple to follow. First, you will have to clean the crack using a glass cleaner and remove all pieces of glass that are still remaining. After, place a stopping tool in order to isolate the crack. This tool can be adjusted to cover the whole length of the crack on the windshield.
The air inside the crack is sucked out through a vacuum tool and then resin is injected into the crack. Under the light, the resin will begin to dry slowly and cover the crack. Using a tool of some sort or a razor blade, scrape off the excess resin on the windshield. Some repair kits may differ in the repair process as they use different methods of applying the resin, through a resin film or a tube.
There are many different repair kits that can be used for repairing your windshield. One excellent windshield repair kit is the Fix-A-Windshield, Do-It-Yourself Repair Kit. It comes at a very affordable price of $10 and contains all the necessary tools that you will need for repairing cracks in your windshield.

Another great windshield crack repair kit is the Liquid Glass Windshield Repair Kit. This kit retails at the cheap price of thirteen dollars. The resin is specially formulated and repairs the cracked part of the windshield to almost new condition again. It is applied by using an injection tool which injects resin into the crack.
