VICKJES Windshield Repair Kit, Glass Repair Fluid 4 Pcs Car Glass Repair Kit, Windshield Crack Repair Kit, Glass Repair Fluid Quick Fix for Chips, Cracks, Star-Shaped Crack

I had to do it twice, but it sealed my 1in crack in my windshield and it hasn’t gotten any bigger!

The "pressure" tube & plunger was leaky. So, it didn't apply pressure to liquid. The threading on the suction cup mount slipped. So, taction with the windshield couldn't be maintained. And, the silicon surface of the pressure tube was too small. So, liquid leaked out around the sides. This product was worse than zero value, because once the glue was set, the faulty repair prevented me from using another better designed kit. So, now I have to replace my windshield. This product should only be used for very small divots (5 mm or less) with no hairline cracks.

Here’s my pros & cons. Pro: 1. Good materials . The plastic in the frame and injection parts is a good choice. It is strong enough for its purpose and the dried resin from can be removed from it easily enough. Suction cups are flexible and work well. 2. The resin seems to be good for this application. Chrystal clear and It flows well into the cracks and cures in sunlight. Within 20 minutes it cured hard to the touch and still allowed shaving it flat with soapy water and the included razor blade. 3. The kit includes plenty of everything you need to repair several windshields. AND it is all packaged well with 4 black bottles of resin -sealed from leaks and sunlight. 4. The included instruction sheet is just barely acceptable. CONS: 1. The injection tube and bridge assembly are molded with threads that barely engage. I could not get the tube to apply pressure and seal against the glass before the threads skipped out of the bridge. I used 5 minute epoxy to permanently mount the tube into the bridge section at a good height. Photo attached. Without adding the epoxy I couldn’t have used this kit. 2. The pressure plunger had a raised seam line that allowed resin to seep out without pressurizing well into the glass crack. I added extra resin twice trying to get it into the crack. Only partially successful. But the resin penetrated somewhat and the crack was almost invisible when done.

This windshield repair kit was pretty straightforward to use. The suction cup/resin insertion apparatus worked reasonably well. I don't know if it was human error on my part, but the chip was not 100% filled, as you will see in the photo. It was difficult to know whether I had placed the suction cup/resin insertion apparatus in the best location on the windshield. I left the curing film on the windshield for a few days, as I did not have a UV light and my car was parked in a location that doesn't receive much sunlight. It took about 30 minutes to fill the chip with resin, and then 15 minutes to remove the curing film and scrape the residual resin off the chip's surrounding with the provided razor blade. I am glad that the kit has 3 more bottles of resin, so I can use it again if I have another chip.

I honestly think it is user error for such low stars because with a Jeep TJ and a Toyota FJ Cruiser, which are notorious for stars/cracks, this is needed and perfect! I purchased this in July 2023 and I've used it multiple times, including today. Works exactly like the people who get paid to do it thru your insurance. Quick and easy.

this is SO cheapely made that the suction cups are pretty much useless (I clean them, tried wet, soapy, etc...). Just about eveytime I start tightening the insertion, 2 of the cups would loosen. First time I then tried to press the suction down again, I ended up putting too much pressure on the round inpact causing the crack to spider and extend out! exactly what I was trying to avoid!!! I JUST replaced a cracked windshield that spidered after some time and since I got a new impact again I figure I would fill it. Now the hole I can fill pretty good (after VERY CAREFULLY NOT PUTTING ANY PRESSURE) but the spider are almost impossible to fill now.... Professional use a vacum instead of putting pressure and forcing the glue down - makes sense. THIS TOOL IS DANGEROUS and likely make it worse unless you ARE VERY VERY CAREFUL but then it barely works at best. waste of time and money...

The resin itself is just fine but the actual plunger did not force the resin into the damaged area of the windsheild (about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long). If the plunger was to loose it allowed the resin to run out constantly and if it was tightened down enough to prevent leakage it actually made the crack worse. I only tightened 1/4 of a turn at a time while introducing the resin and it still didn't work. I was able to use the resin by hand and repair the actual cracks for the mostpart but the origina damaged area which led to the cracking still remains. 10/10 would not recommend unless your are only looking for a cheap option to get resin.

I watched some videos on using the rainx version which is identical to this. Take notes and the job will go smoother with 2 people. It is easy to have the screw part on the plunger upside down but it flips over (a duh moment). Over all I was impressed with how easy and well it worked. There is still a tiny spot and evidence of the spread but it is 90% better and holding. Having used this kind of product before I expect it to last 3-4 years unless resins have gotten better in the last 10 years.
