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

Easy to use with great results. Watch videos about it first, then proceed. The syringe clip seems flimsy/delicate; I practiced using it a couple of times before beginning the process. Also, as soon as I inserted the resin tube into the pedestal the resin overflowed out almost immediately. There's no way to really tell what amount is in the tube and/or going into the pedestal; it would be handy if the resin tube were clear. No matter, there was plenty left in the tube for the final step. Have several paper towel squares nearby to wipe up spills. I put a full sheet around the wiper blade just below the area I was working on. After locking the plunger in step 6, I lightly tapped around the pedestal to accommodate the release of air bubbles.Finally, my nick/chip was a small bullseye type, less than the size of a dime. This product seems perfect for that type. My windshield was originally damaged while I was traveling on the interstate, at my next fuel stop I put a piece of clear tape over the area (on the outside of the windshield). A glass repair technician suggested I do that years ago when I had another incident like this. I believe it keeps moisture out until it can be repaired.

Very fast and easy. Instructions are clear. I had a rock chip right in front of my driver view, and this almost completely cleared it up (visually) upon filling, and the stars have not spread at all since using this. I did not want to pay a ridiculous fortune at a shop for something I could do at home, and this was perfect.

I used this in 2022 on my windshield. Worked great could hardly see the star shaped crack when I was finished. I was really just hoping to put off a windshield replacement for a few months. Never expected I would get three years before the crack started showing back up. I am going to do it again. Expecting nothing but hoping for the same results. What I remember from the first application is to pay attention to the cut outs on the plunger and where you are supposed to push to. I, also, put a piece of cardboard on my dash, helped me see the windshield on the outside. Everything else you need is in the pack, simple process. Three years was pretty amazing, kept the crack from expanding. I truly could not see where the crack was and it was in my line of vision. Simple fix just follow the directions.

Product ultimately worked but when we removed the device taped to the window there was a ton of liquid product in the tube that spilled out, luckily only on the window. I watched the videos and never saw that happen but I did use most of the tube. The product did not cure completely until plastic strip was put on it and car moved into the sun. Did not changed chip appearance that much IMO but when you run you finger across it feels like glass with no chip. Took two stars due to uncured product spilling and some missing tips to removal in instructions. Tip I saw online that needed to be in the instructions was to remove excess filler from inside out leaving the filler over chip to the end then place razor perpendicular to window and scrap side to side. This prevents you digging out filler while flattening the filler over the chip. Technique worked perfectly and you will see why when you pull the plastic square off after sun exposure. Edges of filler come up a little too showing how easy it is to pull out of chip if you’re not careful.

Amazing product! I've had previous windshield chips repaired by a well known national chain and those chips were just quickly filled with a resin and the technician went on their way, and the chip was still very visible. This product takes a little longer, about an hour including curing time, but what a difference! My larger than quarter sized chip is like a little dot now. The directions were clear and the product is easy to use with simply amazing results. I am very impressed with this product.

After considerable product review research on which kit to get for a DIY windshield chip repair, I eventually settled on Permatex and I'm glad I did (final contenders were this and the Rain X kit, some YouTube videos all agreed this was slightly better). I've included 2 before and 2 after photos of my repair of a 1/2" bullseye chip and radial crack.The pictures should speak for themselves. The chip is considerably less noticable after the repair and hasn't gotten any worse in the 2 weeks since the repair. This was my main concern, not letting a small chip turn into a big problem a few months down the line.Of course cosmetically it's not perfect, no DIY kit will be, but it's much better than I was expecting for $15 and 1 hour of my time. In fact the "after" pictures I included make the chip look so much worse post-repair than it does in real life. I know the blemish on my windshield is still there, however unless I'm REALLY looking for it, it's not noticable at all day-to-day. Virtually invisible unless the sun hits it juuussstttt right. Getting the "after" pictures to actually show and focus on the fixed chip was quite the challenge.As for doing the repair, it was pretty straightforward. I would recommend reading all the instructions and making sure you understand them before getting started because it is a time-sensitive process. I personally added 5 minutes of extra time to each the following 2 steps and I think it helped produce a slightly cleaner result:1) The step where you first insert the resin then pull a partial vacuum with the syringe to remove air from the crack.2) The step where you add positive pressure using the syringe to force the resin deeper into the crack.Follow the steps correctly, do it in the shade, and I think you'll also be happy with the results. 5/5 product since I went into it with reasonable expectations and was impressed with the easy process and impressive results.
