Windshield Long Crack Repair with RainX Kit: Does it work?

# Windshield Long Crack Repair

## Purpose

With a 6-inch long crack on the windsheild, hope the repair will:
1. make it less visible;
2. stop the growth of the crack;

## Supply

* RainX Windshield Repair Kit (resin bottle)
https://www.rainx.com/product/rain-x-windshield-repair-kit/

which comes with:
1. Resin bottle, x1
2. Curing strips
3. Razor blade

No affiliation. I chose it because it includes "long crack" in its product description and instructions.

## Steps

1. Mark the crack from inside.
2. From outside/above, apply resin VERY slowly along the crack.
3. Move at the speed for the crack line to disappear (not as visible).
4. Reapply resin wherever necessary.
5. Apply a small amount of pressure on the crack, from inside in the car.
1. just encough pressure
2. on both sides and center of crack
3. to help reduce air pockets
6. Move the car outside, under the sun, and let it cure for 10 minutes or so.
1. Or you may use a curing light.
7. After it is cured, remove the curing strips.
8. Use the provided razor blade to scratch off cured resin on the glass surface.
9. Check crack visually.

## Notes

+ It is a cloudy day and I leave the windshield hours to cure.
+ Crack is much harder to see after the repair.
+ One month after the repair, the crack remains the same size.

## Question

Not sure how long the repair will hold up, but will report back in a year or so.
