this is the best Repair a Cracked Windshield vid on youtube.......very easy to understand
Thanks. I'm glad it was a help.
sixtyfiveford how did you use the drill but, by hand or is there a method to it? thanks again ;)
sixtyfiveford hey can you do this with a 24inch crack in my windshield
realvipul Barney style. Prefect for people like me who no very, very little about cars
Nice video but I wouldn’t recommend it, some windshields when you push up from the inside the crack gets bigger, it can even split into different directions also so yes drilling the crack at the end will keep it from spreading, most people will push up and the crack will get bigger and split into an entire new crack. Just spend the $150 get a new windshield
I'm sitting here for hours watching glass repair videos, bunch of amateur videos with their $10 diy repair kit and a bunch of professional videos with their $1k kit. Your video is the only one that married the two together. Thank you!
Again you find ways to keep the cost down of a repair. That's going to help a lot of people. Your work is really appreciated.
Fair play to you fella..I've been a windscreen fitter for over 20 years and I'm well impressed by your efforts..well done that man 👍🏽👍🏽
41 people disliked, 41 one of those worked at auto-glass.
Very true.
i hope that's true, because i'm going to do this myself. all i can afford anyway

Right 😂😂😂
I've been watching DIY windshield crack repair videos all afternoon getting prepped to do my 4Runner and this one is BY FAR the best one I have watched. Thanks so much!! I have a long crack in my windshield very similar to yours, same place and length.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
HANDS DOWN THE MOST BESTEST... SUPER MOST WONDERFUL.... EASIEST TO UNDERSTAND AND FOLLOW... GLASS REPAIR VIDEO ON CZcams!!!!
Very helpful even after so many years. One of the best videos on this topic. Thank you!
I can't see the crack 'cause I have cracks on my phone screen
Lol
Thanks a lot dude. I noticed a small crack in the glass vista roof on my Mustang. This is about a $2000 piece of glass. Looked at it a couple of hours later and it had started running. It grew from about an inch to around four inches in a very short time just from changing ambient temperature I guess. No professional on-site options were quickly available so I hit You Tube and eventually ran across your tutorial here. I ran to Wally World, picked up this kit and with the help of my Dremel and diamond bit stopped the crack in it's tracks and made a professional looking repair. The crack is only visible at the perfect angle in the perfect light. Totally un-noticeable if you are not looking for it. Thanks for sharing brother.
+Craig LaVergne Great, I'm glad you found the video.
Is it still working for you? Just curious.
The repair kit manufacturer should be paying you for this video. This is the best advertisement they could hope for. Great job. I may try this next time I have a cracked windshield.
***** I've saved enough money with their kits, so I owe them.
Worked wonderfully on a 9" windshield crack started by a rock hit at the bottom left drivers side. Instead of using grease on the suction cups , I actually used those cups to press the sealer into the crack with heavy pressure since the length of the crack was relatively short. Thanks for posting, it worked!!
The stuff I used to repair the windshield is linked in the video Description Above
Thank you. Great video!
Hi mate, hope you still here but is the liquid use called epoxy?
@@swagphxswagphx he wont reply mate..dude probably gone lol
@@musiclifenatureandtravelsb9178 Yes resin. I've heard some use Super glue too.
Used this on Nov 5,2015 on a windsheild that had been installed a month before got a 1 inch chip and crack upper corner driver side. Followed direction did in shade rolled out into sun scrapped it off crack has vanished and stayed GONE. its now Dec 4,2016 still can't see any sign of crack or chip.
good job maybe you lucked out doing something new is hard to do
Crack still gone after 5 years?
Been watching a lot of windscreen repair vids this evening and this is by far the best. Great work 👍
What a great idea with the grease. And a great application where a replacement would be a PITA.
briansmobile1 Thanks Man.
I've been looking for different ways to repair my cracked windshield at home rather than spending way too much to have it done professionally. GREAT video! I'll be picking up everything I need tomorrow!
+Rayna Langdon Thanks.
great vid short and sweet, half the videos out there would probably would give some strange rant for five mins about the history of windshield
I learn something new every time you post! Thanks for sharing this.
Melody Capehart Medina Hey Thanks..
Excellent vid. Love the grease idea wouldn't have thought of that.
That is awesome! How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? You did a great job on the windshield and the video!
Pretty impressive to cover such a long crack. Never would have thought.
***** Yeah, I'm impressed every-time I do it. I was in a wind storm in this motorhome and the windshield got pelted with 2 dozen good size rocks, all leaving good sized chips. They were all repaired, then last year I got a tiny little one that I neglected to repair and it turned into this huge crack over the winter.

I left my truck running with heat on defrost in -22F weather for 20 min as I removed some snow, got 2 cracks about 12" long each. I may try this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
@@WaveAction777 I discovered a long crack this morning that starts from the bottom of the windscreen it is about 4 inches long at first I thought maybe a stone hit it which can't be possible because it's just a long line no round circle, but now that I have read your comment I suspect it was me leaving the engine running with the heater at max in the winter to defrost
@@thefullenergychannel2879 It is usually those combined. Heater alone shouldn't cause the glass to crack, but it may initiate the cracking from a small stone hit. And yes, the stone hit not nearly always makes a circular crack, it is often even unnoticeable small dot, from which a single or multiple cracks later begins to spread.
Just watched how to put a rearview mirror on which I’ve done many times before but your product caught my eye. And then you put this link in your video now I’m watching this one which is fascinating as well. Love your show, if you ever get up to North Dakota look me up I’m easy to find.
I don’t even know how to thank you.
Next week I’m goin on a vacation with my fiance by car and replacing glass now was the last thing I wanted. But now, thanks to you I’m saved!
And I have some extra trip money of course :D
Once again Moe, another useful video. I especially like the grease trick to slide along the crack. I always wondered how one could fill a long crack at home (have done bullseyes with success) now I know. Thanks for sharing!
-Jack
Fireship1 Thanks Jack.
I love you're videos so much. Please don't stop with them :)
I wanted to say thank you for posting this video!! This is the best windshield repair vid on the net/utube !!! I enjoy all your vids, you are one smart fella!!!!!👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
The BEST glass repair video on YT, thank you!
Great repair job video. I'm going to do this.
thank you , this video is the best Repair a Cracked Windshield video
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks.
My parents had that same motor home when I was a kid! Brings back some awesome memories! Never knew those kits could fix a cracked windshield, thought they just did chips!? Thanks for sharing
drvnucrzy Awesome, I know I get a lot of enjoyment out my mini-motorhome.
SixtyFiveFord, thank you. And thank you twice more! You've saved me a lot of money in just a short while. I've watched three of your vids and now know how I'm going to clean my dirty TBI fuel injectors on my '92 Chevy. I'm also going to modify my worm gear hand winch per your methods. Looks to be the exact one that you have. And now this! I''m going to get a repair kit this afternoon and get after my cracked windshield...in my '92 pickup. That's $160 +/- for the Delco injectors and $250+ on that windshield that you are saving me. You rock!
Thanks, I'm glad you like the videos.
Super duper, sounds better than the $269 some place quoted me for a replacement.
We have a Toyota Camry with sensors in the windshield. Was quoted $1000.00 to replace windshield and re calibrate the sensors.
Very cool way to fix your windshield. Awesome. Rick
***** Hey Thanks Rick.. -Moe
Great job dude!!! The windshield of my Corolla 2021 has been hit by something and now there is a chip and a 15" crack!!! I started watching videos of DIY and imagined what if I put paper/tape/plastics/ or something that followed the same line of the crack and applied with a razor, a needle, and a syringe, but your idea is the best; now I know how to stop and repair the damage until I can pay $1000 DLLs for the replacement of a new one. I hope to save that amount until next month. Thank you so much.
Hey many thanks from the UK 🇬🇧! This is now my go to video for crack repair, excellent work and explanation 🤩🤩
Glad it helped
Your freaking amazing.
Cool , going to try this .
wtbm123 I've had good luck with them.
just bought the kit through your link, will check home depot for the drill bit.... thank you so much for this awesome video. i think i may end up saving a few hundred dollars!
Love these videos, very helpful for the everyday repairs!
Haha my friend made a comment that there was no way it would pass inspection and you showed that sticker not even 5 seconds after. Nice method
The Curious Noob Hey Thanks... Yeah, I've had great luck with these kits.
sixtyfiveford b
sixtyfiveford hey man can I do this using 2 repair fix's if the crack is longer
Nice fix, and didn't cost much either!
Ozzstar Cheap fixes are always the best. Thanks Bro.
Great content and information, very helpful with the grease and pressure on the windshield. A+
If, I have a need for DIY fix it repairs, I'm coming to the 65Ford Channel. Thanks for all of the great information.
Nice job! Turned out great!
***** Thanks man.
I seen kits like that and I find they "Work" good as long as it's a some what fresh crack and no shit is stuck in the crack.
***** Exactly. Also, if the crack goes all the way to the edge of the glass it is also more likely to get crap into it.
Thank you I was worried i was gonna have to replace but I have hope now
That’s impressive , worth a try before inspection for sure. Thanks for posting!
You mentioned about "holding constant pressure and following the crack", as well as "pushing up from inside". It would have been real instructive to see you do it in action.
But alas, that's just where you sped things along making it hard to really see well.
Anyhow, thanks a lot for this; And I do mean a lot!
Maybe grease the inside of windshield,so can easily slide finger along.
Go to settings..slow vid down.
Muy útil, muchas gracias, excelente explicación y tips para hacer bien la reparación. Saludos desde México.
Got my first crack and fixed it following this video, Thanks man appreciate you.
Glad it helped. GREAT JOB
I've had this 1.5 foot crack across my windshield for a month, luckily it's not very visible from the outside, so no cops have pulled me over. It is however getting colder and I can tell it's starting to spread, I'm 100% going to follow this video, it's so easy to understand and helpful!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks Man, really appreciate your video, caught a stone in Texas and was wondering what I could do about it. Now I know
Thank you for the great video, really appreciate it, going to do this myself on my own windshield.
Follow the steps and it'll turn out great.
Hey, as note before, easiest video here to understand on crack repair, no wasted time.
I need to do this very thing. very timely. good video with great detail. thanks
thank you, great tutorial. I'll be fixing mine on monday
Great help! I followed your directions including what to buy and worked great. The only deviation was I used a Dremel tool with a flat bottom, 3/32 diamond bit to make the stop hole. I was concerned the pointed glass bit would start a new crack.
+W Lewis Nicely done
Just ordered the stuff that you pinned the link to. Hopefully it will take care of the crack in my windshield. I have the exact crack as yours in the video. 🤞🏼 thank you for the video to help us, and thanks for keeping it short and to the point.
Just take your time.
Thought I was gonna have to replace the windshield on my mustang after passing a semi dump driver and a rock made a nice long crack . This is going to be a nice DYI project to fix it and save a lot cash :] thanks
❤ omg thank you for keeping it simple! While still explaining every step.
You saved me so much money! Super easy to understand, great video!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Just bought a G35 at a discounted price because it won't pass an inspection. This is such an amazing and cheap hack. Thank you!
As always your videos are very informative. Thank you and can not wait until the next one.
yellownp22541 Thanks man.
for sure man, I'll message you when said and done with the results. and again thank you cause all glass shops around sacramento want to replace the whole window for a 9 inch crack lol
65 thanks for all your great vidios ,,, !!! you have really passed on a lot of valuable info on everything ,,, thanks again ,,, your a cool cat for sure
Thanks Man.
another fine job Moe, I always enjoy your educational vids.
59chevt Hey Thanks.
well that is two things that I stand corrected on. I just bought a lansky sharpening system and after years of thinking it was just a fad/gimmick for suckers with more money than sense, Im now a believer! Now,I thought the same thing about these crack repair kits. I cant believe I just spent 300 bucks on a new windshield!
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose I've had really good luck with these kits, but I've also had a lot of practice. They won't work on every crack, but you'll be surprised what they can do.
Cool man, thanks. I have a small 4 inch crack at the bottom passenger side of my windshield. Idk of it'll work, but its worth a shot. Thanks for making a helpful video.
You got all kinds of tricks up your sleeve. Thanks for sharing your tricks..
MrMunchiemo thanks man
Excellent video - going to give this a shot on my Jeep and see how it works. Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you good sir! I honestly can't thank you enough for giving me some hope that I won't have to replace my windshield. (The crack in my windshield spread over a foot on my way back from work today...so I have been extremely salty haha) I will try it out this week and I will check back in and let you/ and fellow youtubers know if it worked for my windshield.
Take your time and do it out of the sun. Let me know how it goes for you.
Very concise and well explained, ordered stuff as shop said 6" crack and half dime size
calls for full replacement of w/shield.
Worried about cleaning grease off but will tackle with thanx from canada.
The grease will wipe right off with any glass cleaner.
FANTASTIC VIDEO!
THANK YOU.
Cool video, whoever thought up using suction cups in grease has got my attention, would love to see what else they came up with.
Robb's Homemade Life Thanks Robb. -Moe
Awesome video bro, I'm definitely gonna give this a shot this weekend. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks.
This is the one. Thank you. My search is over.
A few years ago I took my car to Safelite glass. They said they would try to repair the crack but if it didn't work I would need to get a replacement windshield from them. Guess what their repair not only didn't work but they made the crack a lot worse! I had to buy a new windshield. They did do the installl well though. After seeing your video I will be able to fix it myself next time.
Dasdfjkl I figure the worst that could happen is I need a new windshield.
I've never seen this done before, thank you!
evahle thanks man
Wow!! thank you very much, you've helped me already.. been worrying about this on my windshield.
Awesome, I'm glad the video was helpful.
Amazing! Wish I would have came across this video last month, Just replaced my windshield because of a similar crack!
D Money Hey Thanks.. I hope it comes in handy someday.
Very informative, going to try it now, Thanks!
I had a rock hit my windshield that grew to 10 inches after like a week.
That's discouraging when they grow so quickly.
Ty for the step by step process will try it this weekend
Thanks Man.
Thanks for sharing this, that would have saved me a few bucks more than a few times.
Thumbs up man!!!
+Luapou Iosefa Thanks.
thanks bud for the video this will save me a lot of money
Awesome and clear instructional video.
Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful.
I always knew that was possible with one of those kits. I just never had the chance to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Patrick Leonard Hopefully you never do.
thank you greetings from Australia
If you have the option to use chapstick but choose to use axle grease you are a mad man. Thanks for the video
Thank you Thank you Thank you best video to help me fix my long crack!
your reserch and presentation help. Its the best approach for my 20 inches crack. Does your kit come with enough resin for a 20 " inch crack?
Nice vid guy I appreciate it. I told my wife that this is how I wanted to do it and she didn't believe me so I looked up a video to show her.
That's funny. Thanks for watching
Your video just saved me over $500 for a new windshield. thanks,
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Snowblower kicked a stone up and we have an 11 inch crack!! As soon as temperature rises over freezing, I'm following your advice!!! Thanks!!!!
That's stinks.
I'm really appreciate for the link I have the crack and my windshield and always want to fixed but to Expensive !!!! Thank you so much for you video and explain very professional. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I watched this guy re-gas the 7 up cooler, I thought he was a fridge mechanic, I just watched him repair this crack, If I had watched this first, I would of thought he was a windscreen dude. Moral here?, you are very clever mate, I will like and subscribe. You also come across with a lot of common-sense,
Thanks Mate. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.
Just found this video. Major thumbs up. I have a star crack I am going to try this on. I may have to move the tool a small amount. My only concern is to make sure the suction of the tool is strong enough to handle this movement. Did you notice any loss of adhesion with the suction cups by using the grease? Thank you.
Sweetness. I been getting pulled over for my inspection but it’s just cause I can get it inspected cause my windsheid. Thank you I’m for sure going to try this hopefully I won’t mess up lol
Nice work buddy! Saved some big bucks and passed inspection! Hope it is stopped for good!
MRrwmac Hey Thanks. The glue seams very very strong so I hope it stays put for a couple years.
Thank you so much! I will get this done ASAP!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Take your time and do it out of the sunlight.
