Review on RainX DIY Windshield Repair Kit for Chips, Cracks, Bulls-Eyes, and Stars - Fix Your Windshield on Your Own by Michael Ghosh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A reliable alternative to insurance claims

As a home repair kit, this makes a very good use. The results are good - not as good as the Safelite as one might expect, but still pretty darn good considering the price. The only real beef I have is what suckers suck. Uh, more specifically, they don't suck. If you know what I mean. But once you get past that, it's easy to use, the instructions are clear, and the materials are enough to make a few repairs. insurance notice. For years I did what my insurance company (Erie) told me to do. When I discovered a crack, star, or any damage other than a windshield chip, I called their glass damage service and asked Safelite to fix the problem so it didn't turn into something that needed replacing. They always assured me that this is what they wanted their customers to do and not just break down or fix themselves. That generosity seems to have a limit because they started bothering me about it and this coupled with an exceptionally bad experience with a homeowner's claim made me dump them after being a customer for 32 years since I got my driver's license for the first time. Now I work for another company but to make sure I don't fall into the same trap I will do the repairs myself because I won't make the same mistake of trusting them as I did with Eri.
