[UWSL]DIY Windshield repair... This was done outside the garage though, because the van is too tall to fit inside.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]I always keep one of these kits on hand, because to get the best results you need to do the repair right away before the cracks start to spread. They don't do a perfect job, but they will prevent further damage, and they do improve the clarity of the windshield in the area of the damage.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]Here are some pics from the repair I did today. The first pic doesn't do justice to just how bad the cracking was. I didn't think to put the window covers in place, and the camera wouldn't focus properly on the transparent glass. But you can get a pretty good idea from the two pics how much the repair kit improved it.[/UWSL]
[UWSL]The high roof Ford Transit van seems to be a rock magnet, this is the third repair on this windshield. So far the hits have all been out of the driver's line of sight, which is where this kind of repair works best. If I had a bad hit right in the driver's sight line, I would just get the windshield replaced (already done that once).[/UWSL]
