Tried to do a DIY windshield repair today... Didn't work.
Bought the $15 Permatex repair kit. It is the one with the double back tape on plastic fixture and a syringe to vacuum out the air and push in the sealer.
This was a very small star break, about 1/2" wide. Followed the instructions exactly, the sealer did not penetrate the cracks, did basically nothing... I saw this demonstrated on YouTube, but when I opened the kit it was not the same, the design was changed, for the worse!
Bad thing is, now just enough of the sealer is in there so that nothing is going to work now! Just hoping enough got in to stop the thing from spreading!
Anyone have tried and proven brand for next time?
