Took my car to a lube shop that said they did windscreen repair too. Had a chip in the middle of my view. Show pulled the car out and the chip looked exactly the same. When I said I expected the repair to hide the chip they said "oh, no. No repair will do that. All we are doing is putting repair resin in to stop the chip from spreading" Useless! And expensive! I could have bought multiple kits for the cost of that "repair"!
Got another chip in my windscreen and so ordered this kit. Wiped the glass, used the supplied razor to ensure not loose chipped glass on the area. Aligned the base which has four suction cups so that the opening hole in the center was directly over the center of the chip. Had to hop in and out of the car to see this as too far over the fender to see from the outside so I looked from the inside.
I then removed the plunger screw in from the center of the screw in post piece and installed it in the base. I tightened it down so it was firm against the windscreen, but not cranked down. I put the required number of drops down the inside of the post piece and then held the post from twisting while I screwed in the center plunger piece.
I don't know why they have flats on these pieces like you need to use wrenches. For the pressure you put on, the hold of the suction cups etc. I don't think you need wrenches. I did the whole repair just by hand.
So, center screwed in almost all the way, let it sit the required minutes (in the instructions) and then removed the center plunger piece and screwed it back in. This lets air come out that might have been displaced out of the chip/crack. Let it sit as required and then removed everything. Did the drop on the top of the chip and put on the plastic sheet. Pulled out of the garage and let sit in the sun to cure. Pull off the plastic sheet and gently scrape the excess off with the razor.
My chip had two star fingers that came off of it. After repair these are gone. The chip is practically invisible and WORLDS better than that "professional" repair. I'll never go to one of those shops again! This kit is so simple to use. Takes just a few minutes to do and get great results!
If I can do it, YOU can do it! Don't hesitate!
