Hey guys ChrisFix here
Today i'm going to show you how to fix a chip
I was driving down the highway behind a dump truck
a rock came off and hit my truck windshield
So this was a couple of hours ago
Went and got the kit
You want to do this right away so it prevents anymore chipping
Or cracking all down the windshield
So we can see our chip right here
Its spider cracked
Its not like a crack straight up the windshield
So this is repairable
First thing we're going to do is clean this off
I like using a microfibre towel
And i'm going to pour alcohol right on to it
You don't want to spray or pour it onto the crack
You want to put it on the towel
And then wipe the windshield
The good thing about alcohol is it drys very fast
You could use your glass cleaner, But make sure you dont spray onto the windshield
You want to put it on the towel first
So heres the windshield repair kit I'm going to use
Got it for $10
Heres what comes in the kit, Lets get started fixing this windshield
So you can see the chip better
I put some cardboard behind it
And put some black tape around, Hopefully it will focus good and you'll be able to see what im doing
So after you clean, What you want to do is take a safety pin, and just make sure there is no glass
Thats left in here from the chip
So that looks good
The next thing you want to do is get your seal
And peel off one side
You want the tab to be facing up
And you want the crack in the middle
Like so
Make sure there's a good seal
Now peal off the other side
Exposing the other sticky side
Now we take our pedestal here
And we line it up, see the tab on the top
Right on, and press down
So now the chip is completely covered
And has the pedestal on top
Now we take our resin
We get our scissors and cut the tip off here
Now we put 3 quarters of the resin
In here
Now we take our syringe
We're going to push it in all the way
So now you use one hand, Hold the Syringe down, and pull upwards
And it locks in, this clip up here locks it in and creates a vacuum
So now you're sucking all the air out
Now the directions say let this sit for 10 minutes
As you let this sit, Bang around the windshield to help the air bubbles escape
The whole point of this vacuum step, is to pull any air out of the crack
So when you take a look from the backside
You can see all those air bubbles being pulled out by that vacuum
10 Minutes later, there are no air bubbles in the crack, they are all on the outside
And we will do the next step
So 10 minutes have passed, Hold the base of the syringe, and pull it out
to let air in, and now push the syringe back in
Make sure its nice and air tight
And you're going to move this clip so you can push down
And you're going to lock it in the down position
Just like so
Now you're putting pressure on it, This pressure forces resin into the crack
Now we let this sit for 20 minutes
20 Minutes later, Pull out the syringe, we're done with this
Now we use a safety razor
Just get underneath
Peel it back
Have some paper towel ready
Just to catch any resin
Take your extra resin you have left
Put a drop right on top of the crack, like so
Make sure you're in direct sunlight when you do this
Take your flat yellow square
Place it on top, Take the flat razor edge, and press out any bubbles
Now we have to let this sit in direct sunlight for 15 minutes
Or if its a cloudy day or in the shade it will take an hour
But it will only take 15 minutes this way
Ok 15 minutes has lapsed
Get a straight edge under here, Pull this off
Now take your straight edge and just go across
Try to go as parallel to the glass as you can, you don't want to scrape the glass
You just want to scrape the resin off
Now we're done
I don't know if you can see the crack anymore
There is a very very small speck
But you can kind of see where it is, right there
Just a tiny speck
This kit does a excellent job
Now we can pull the tape off
Now we can see, That is awesome
So that is how you remove a chip from your windshield
You want to do this right away
You don't want it to become a huge crack up your windshield
