Rain X 600001 Windshield Repair Kit Review

My windshield was hit by a rock at 85 mph. A small chip remained, which eventually turned into a crack extending about half an inch on either side of the chip. That meant I had a small tear (about 1 inch long) and a small chip to boot. I read the reviews on this product and was afraid I would either screw it up or it wouldn't be perfect. I honestly couldn't. I didn't ask for better results. The rift is now invisible unless you REALLY try to find it and the chip is completely gone. I did as the…

Product works great! However, it is important that you set reasonable expectations. If you think nothing happened to your windshield, you may be disappointed.

It costs at least 1/5 the price at the dealership, requires no special tools, and works great. I followed 75% of the instructions wrong, but the crack is GONE. I RECOMMEND this…

First repair. Bought this and Loctite 37613 for two different cars to see how well these products work on windshield repairs. Because this product is advertised as more versatile and can be used multiple times, it can even be used to fill long cracks. I decided to use this on a car that had 4 different brakes. The main crack in the windshield was a 1/2 to 3/4 inch diameter porthole. Three long (10 to 18 inches) cracks emanated from it. In addition, there were three other small broken sprockets…
