Windshield crack repair (17 inch)

My windshield got a big almost 35cm crack like the one on the video and at Carglass they told me it can not be fixed and needed glass replacement (700 euros). So I will try my luck with DIY repair kit I bought from the internet for 65 euros for big cracks. The seller provided me with a helpfull DVD of many instructional videos and I posted the one I am going to use.
I will come back with some results later...

A lost art. Instead of repair we’ve developed a disposable society. Thanks for sharing

[@AndrewDelgado-og6es]

It’s sorta a scam for the simple reason it’s not repaired but temp fix don’t think you can leave it like that it does need to be replaced

@Alan Abdiel it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@BO0O0O0O0O0O01]

I knew that it could be done, but I was a bit of a skeptic with that long of a crack. That’s quite impressive. The only problem I’m having is that I can’t find a shop that will do it. All the shops I’ve contacted only want to replace which could be different then my JDM windshield.

[@louie88580]

No shops really repair something that large, the chances of it spreading after the fact are too great and we have to deal with frustrated customers more often than we want to

Dang just my luck. I was thinking i’d patent that new fangled control arm until he said it was already patented. Guess I can’t make one of my own now. This guy is always like 2 steps ahead of me.

[@darkmauveshore]

He's got the 9" fangled control arm, you can do the 10" fangled control arm. 10 minute cracks

[@carlosanaya4149]

I was under the impression that these companies repair the cracks and bill the insurance companies for a brand new glass.

[@gavinparsons5150]

hey man I had a drink one day while I was repairing a windshield & I ended up drilling through the windshield through the driver's seat and through the floor pan in to the car park asphalt into the earth out the other end and I ended up in downtown China! There's a whole new meaning to a crack expander over there! I ended up with a black eye which has nothing to do with your brown eye! But alas Tonto I am back home all tucked up now.

[@arisayarana-herl9159]

where can I buy the kit that you used in this video?

[@albinullanger7862]

This came out pretty good, i would consider doing this on nostalgia cars or totally cars with no spare parts. I work in the autoglass business, but no insurance company will cover any repairs larger than an inch or two. Crack, def no no. To pay us the actual fee for doing this work above, would end up beeing what the deductable for an entire windshield swap would be. Thats true in Sweden / Norway anyway.

[@amana1480]

0:30 Do you use diamond or tungsten carbide? And what shape is the drill bit tip? Round/flat?

[@rustyrig2764]

FYI...The reason most glass companies won't repair cracks longer than 6" is because (or should be) because it is a structural issue. The windshields are part of the structure of your crash rating and must be full or as close to full strength as possible to protect you in an accident. So yeah, you can cosmetically improve the looks (somewhat) with this method, but it is still damaged. To each his own...be safe!

[@mikelboyd711]

Russell C this is a great trick to keep from getting a ticket. It's a hefty fine for a cracked windshield. $29 < $300

[@jonathancarrasco3356]

Wauuu!! I didn't know a crack like that was possible to fix!

[@glasswinder]

Amazing. I always thought that with a long crack in the windshield it had to be replaced.

[@AndrewDelgado-og6es]

Michael G your windshield will spread its not repaired just temporary fix I won’t in this industry for 80 to 100 to repair or 50 dollar difference with insurance let the insurance pay 💰

[@newmenalejandro1362]

It really should be, safelite in my area won't do repairs on cracked windshields. Only small rock chips under the size of a quarter.

[@jeffreyb6165]

@@newmenalejandro1362 That's right, this is 90% cosmetic and the area will always be weak and may be vulnerable in different ways whether you're caught in a hail storm or driving on bumpy terrain, but I still wouldn't hesitate to do this quick fix.

[@ThunderMan88]

4+2 drops = 8 drops.

[@rvz77]

Thunder 88 according to our current educational system, the answer to that equation is CORRECT! 8 is the new 6.. hendrix was close with if 6 was 9. oh well

[@hazelkeller2608]

"It's just the first two or three inches that are going to be tight, depending on the crack...it's going to start leaking out because the crack is gappy..."

[@randybarnes9270]

That’s what she said

[@oBseSsIoNPC]

no use of a vacuum pump, interesting. I always thought the best fixes are done with them. You did a really good job on this, considering the age of the crack....6 months...damn.

[@JJ_GoBlue]

You are right. Best repairs are done with a vacuum (on rock damages which are your stars, bullseyes etc.) but that crack is so wide open there was no reason to use all that equipment. The resin and Mylar capping plastic would’ve done the job. When the crack is open enough to feel with a nail (as that one was) you could drop anything in there and it’d fill almost immediately.

Lol, I got a chuckle out of that too. Who knows, maybe that was his idea of a joke (and he was just really serious sounding about it, lol).

[@thecam0073]

Watch out: “literally just a piece of metal” may have already been trademarked!

[@rkgsd]

If you were the one getting rich off the patent, you wouldn't be saying that.

[@snorttroll4379]

That is how the patent system works and why it should be abolished or heavily modified. It stifles innovation and competition in most cases.

[@michaelf7455]

The reason why they where to replace the windshield is because, (I am a tech) after the crack is longer then a 6 inches (a bill note or dollar), the is a safety issue with repairing the windshield. the Resin after it cures becomes harder than glass. windshields are made to break a certain way, to much resin will alter this, and could honestly be a huge safety hazard.

[@BrownEyePinch]

correct. this is just someone being a cheap ass

[@e.nicholelewis1561]

How much does a repair like this cost????

[@denniscraven8438]

@@e.nicholelewis1561 Emily, it depends on the tech. I'm in Wichita Ks, I'm a player @ $75. Crack repair can be very smart. It all depends on where, how old, and so forth. The dollar bill rule is an invention of Safelite Auto Glass. I think it's funny that they use a dollar bill as the metric. Because really that's what it's all about the dollar bill they want to sell you a new windshield all the time and always. Search out a good windshield repair service in your area. ROLAGS is the standard (ANSI). Good luck dear.
