How to Fix a Closed Crack in My Windshield

Vehicle windshields are highly susceptible to cracks and nicks. You can easily repair the windshield on your own without having to bring your vehicle to a professional. Less time and less money will be spent if you do the repair on your own, and you may have almost all supplies in your home already.

Instructions

1

Prepare the cleaning solution by combining water, dish detergent and several drops of denatured alcohol in the bucket. Mix it with your hands, and then place a soft cloth in the solution to soak. Put on your safety goggles.

2

Carefully scrape the loose pieces of glass from the crack using the corner of the razor blade. Scrape off any caked-on dirt and oil by laying the blade flat and pushing it across the surface.

3

Wash the area with the soap solution, then dry it off completely.

4

Get the syringe ready for the repair. Place the tip of the syringe in the resin bottle, and then pull back on the end to fill it.

5

Squirt a small amount of resin into the crack. Let it spread into the crack on its own. Add more if needed.

6

Let the resin cure for several hours. Go back and gently scrape any excess hardened resin from the surface.
