Permatex 09103 Windshield Repair Kit, Professional Quality repairs, No mixing required,Resin Cures by natural sunlight, Easy to follow Instructions 1 x 0.75ml

I've just completed the process on my 2 series BMW screen (not yet 1yr old) in less than ideal conditions. A month ago we had two on our Audi screen done professionally -not Permatex, for £40 and were disappointed that the damage was still very visible. Results with the Permatex are EXCELLENT and the damage is now invisible except for a tiny mark about pin head size where the stone hit the screen.Tips- Do read right through the instructions before starting because the temperature range is important, it was just 10C when I did mine, and also getting direct sunlight on the screen to cure the resin when it's been injected is necessary, cloud only for me so it took a few hours but still cured. Don't worry about cleaning excess resin off your screen afterwards because the razor blade and some glass cleaner will do that. Do follow the advice to put a cloth or paper towel below the damage on the screen to prevent excess resin running down, perhaps on to the screen edge or body work.Just ordered another in case I need it!I needed it and for a larger 'bulls eye' than before. Again, the result was excellent and except for a small section of crack a couple of millimetres long it removed all traces of the damage except a tiny chip mark. Far superior than the 'professional. repair at £40 a go.

For some reason the Rain-X kit has a lower rating than this one, but there are a number videos on YouTube that suggest it's the better choice.This one works, it's fiddly and is easy to use too much resin with the tunnel, leading to some mess when you take it off. I dropped the resin in as opposed to inserting the resin tube, and had to use a piece of wire to break the air bubbles and make it fall in.There are instructions from Permatex on YouTube - be sure to watch them a number of times. It seems to be relevant to an older version of the kit, though. The instructions say to cut off a couple of mm from the resin tube, but it seems that the new tube design with the twist-off end stop (not a cap) opens a small hole anyway.There's also a video from "Ry the car guy" who presents a better instruction ("How to Fix Windshield Chips at Home using the 3 Highest Rated Kits on Amazon"). Also take a look at "Do Windshield Repair Kits Really Work?" from TylerTube.

Easy to use, works well

It is west of money. It didn’t do anything on windscreen. I will not recommend this item.

I used this kit for a 50mm crack on my car windscreen, the tube of glass resin is very tiny and i should think is for one use only - especially if you use the large syringe that comes with the kit - sadly although it cured nicely in the sun, the crack is still very visible on my windscreen all i can hope is that it has sealed the crack and it won't run any bigger - The kit you get is not good value for money at all - there are cheaper and better equipped repair kits on amazon.

A brilliant product. I don’t always write reviews however this is worth my time. My car had a chip about 1mm deepest and 5mm in diameter on the windscreen. I simply followed the instructions and an hour and a half later it had all but disappeared. Simply brilliant.

Fantastic. Not too difficult to use. It has repaired the chip on my windscreen perfectly. Delighted.I think good value for money.

Good product with instructions.

It did a good job for windshield repair. Although it could never remove the big chip completely as magic, it perfectly filled all small cracks which should stop them from spreading further. I would definitely recommend this product.

I was driving along and a truck came out of a construction site and kicked up a series of stones towards my vehicle. I heard a loud crack and some other noises. When I got home I found a chip near the rear view mirror. I ordered one of these kits, washed the car to remove impacted dirt, let it dry and went about fixing the problem. I had considered one of the windshield repair stores but their prices deterred me and my car is relatively old. It was time for low cost solutions.The process is a little esoteric and involves sticking a plastic mount onto the windshield and then pouring the filler compound into the mount, then varying the air pressure in the mount by means of attaching a syringe and raising and lowering the plunger and leaving it in position for a set period of time. After that you wipe up the excess, stick a little of the acrylic material on a curing strip and apply it over the damaged area and drive the car into the sun. All of this can only be done in relatively warm weather, check instructions for temperature requirements.When I got the car outside I examined the windshield and guess what, there was another chip, and when I looked more closely there was yet another one, although more minor. I ordered kits to repair these two damaged areas and when I was all done I am sure I was able to fix all three for dramatically less than the windshield repair companies charge. The repairs look good and the good news is that they are all repaired as if lef chips can become cracks and then they spread and you are looking at a new windshield.The kit was relatively easy to use and saved a lot of money so I am happy I used it.

I was was on the interstate, driving my relatively new car to a car show a few hours away, and THWAP! -- a piece of gravel or something hit my windshield. The damage looked HUGE from the driver's seat, but when I stopped and examined it, it was not as large as a US dime and, in rock-chips-windshield parlance, looks like it was a "bullseye" type crack.I immediately texted my car-exterior guy, asking if he knew of someone who repairs such things and he -- after sympathizing with what happened -- replied in the negative, so I was on my own.I was going through my usual mental gymnastics: if I have the windshield replaced, there's a small deductible, but what if they mess it up and it leaks? Or they don't replace the lane-keeping camera properly? Or, or, or? Sigh.I something-searched for repairing cracked windshields and was reminded of repair kits. Long ago, I'd used one on another vehicle and even had some kid outside the grocery store fix a chip a couple years ago, but neither of those experiences were particularly stellar, so I didn't have a great deal of confidence with the repair-kit route. On the other hand, I figured the worst that happened was I tried a kit, the outcome was horrible, and then I'd have the windshield replaced and deal with whatever came of that.So I ordered this Permatex kit (it was significantly cheaper than a competing kit and that was a big factor in my deciding to go with this one) and watched a video or two from actual people (as opposed to the manufacturer) who threw in a couple of wisdom nuggets that I made a mental note of.The kit arrived with typical Amazon expediency and, finding some time in my schedule, moved my usually-parked-outside car into the garage to begin the repair. (I think that's important because the resin cures by exposure to UV in sunlight, so I didn't want it to start to cure until it was supposed to start to cure.)One of the first steps is to use the provided pushpin to clean out any loose glass or other debris from the surface of the chip. I did that and it dawned on me that loosening up said debris around with the end of a pushpin is fine, but I probably wanted to get that stuff out of there, not just move it around, so I grabbed a cordless vacuum cleaner and used it to (hopefully) remove all of the loose fragments. I figured that would give the resin the best chance at filling in the break in the glass, vs. its having to work around any remaining loose debris.While the instruction sheet is jam-packed with information and I wish that it was a little more checklistable/readable, the rest of the repair process was relatively straightforward. I followed the steps as best I could (my spouse was washing our dog in the middle, so I left to help her during the wait-at-least-20-minutes parts of the repair) and it was going pretty well.I heeded the suggestion to place a paper towel below the chip to catch any resin drips and -- being a careful guy -- was doubting the need for such a thing. However, when I was removing the pedestal from the window, it popped off, and drops of resin shot in unexpected directions. Some of it landed on the wiper blade (which I wiped off) and I didn't see any on the paint, but if it is, hopefully, it will come off. All of which is to say, you may want to proceed very gently when you are removing the pedestal and adhesive circle because there's a bunch of resin in there. Maybe cover the whole deal with a paper towel (in addition to a paper towel below) to catch any resin drops that fly away. Anyway, I think I dodged a bullet there, but we shall see.I cleaned up the excess resin, applied the drop of resin and clear square to the repair, moved the car into the driveway, and -- since it was partly sunny (not fully sunny) -- set a timer for an hour. Due to the plastic and surrounding resin, it was hard to tell what the end result was going to look like, but even at that point, it was looking WAY better than it did before I started. Either way, I figured that it was going to be what it was going to be, so nothing to be done if it was less than great.After the waiting time elapsed, I went out to gently peel off the plastic square and scrape off the excess resin and it looked amazing! The damage evolved from a clearly visible chip through the glass to a small, slightly rough dot (about the size of this letter "O" right here on my display).There was resin goop in the vicinity, so I grabbed some denatured alcohol and a paper towel and cleaned it all up as best I could, trying to keep away from the aforementioned dot, figuring it should continue to cure without my getting it wet with alcohol.While it would be great if that little dot was not there, I'm really pleased with the repair. My exterior-car guy suggested some sort of film over the windshield to lessen the likelihood of these, but I may save that for when I get an actual new windshield and when I get my next chip (which I imagine will come eventually), I'll be trying this kit again.One potential downside (not for me in this case, fortunately) is that one of the first items in the instructions is that this kit is "for bullseye chips only". Looking back, I see where the product page does mention that, but if I'd had a different kind of chip, I might have missed that detail. And when I was searching earlier to see what kind of chip I had, the only images I was finding looked like they came from a 1950s coloring book, so I wasn't really even certain that I had a bullseye chip. Fortunately, I did -- or at least whatever I did have worked with this kit. Phew!While I hope that you never get a chip in your windshield, if you do and it is a bullseye, I hope this kit works for you as well as it worked for me!

É um pouco trabalhoso seguir todas as etapas de reparo. Mas o resultado foi igual de um profissional. A resina é bem sensível ao UV. Na sobra enquanto aplicando a resina, ela mantém bastante fluidez. Mas depois leva o carro ao sol a resina endureceu em 15 minutos como o manual explica. Se fosse mais barato ia comprar mais. Tem mais batidas na para-brisa...

The little metal bracket that should hold the syringe, is so weak, that the syringe pops back up, so had to tape it in place. Also the glue on the pads is to weak and the resin just leaked out after 5 minutes under pressure.
