Windshield Repair Forum

I wish that it were that simple, I have that tool, works great for installing certain rear view mirrors, but does not work on the ones that I am talking about. This one has to twist on and off like a vice, can be very difficult, lubricant helps some but there is no tool for this one. Thanks anyway I...

Something that I have experienced before with a crack that you cannot seem to stop, is to make sure that the crack is on the outside layer of glass. If it is on the inside layer, it will always keep jumping past your drill point.

Never have been able to repair a crack on the inside layer of glass, and would not recommend trying. Everything is upside down, you do not want to drip resin on the dash of the car, acid in the resin will do considerable damage, also would have to cure from the inside because the UV laminate will no...

I know that this is not protocol but when I see that air is remaining on a vacuum cycle and I cannot get it out, I do not hesitate to cure under pressure, works every time.

I always buy mine at Sam's Club, you have to be a member though. but the price is good, you get 2 boxes in a package with 200 gloves in each box. I think that it is around 16.00

Wow! Has anybody else had trouble re-installing the rear view mirror on the 2015-2017 Ford F-150? It is the most difficult thing for me. I have used a lubricant but still very difficult, easy to break the apparatus off of the glass. Does anybody have any tips on replacing these things?

Wrong Molding, Wrong Windshield? Definitely WRONG INSTALLER! Wow I would shut down my shop the next day if I had that quality of work. I would definitely recommend a re-do.
