Mike C,

Welcome to WSR and the Forum.

Mike I would say that as long as you can stand the temp. outside then by all means do all the repairs you want.

Remember to:

1. Warm the windshield to your manufacturers specs until you determine what you prefer. I personally try to get the glass to a temp. of 70 deg.

2. I would not use the defroster though. If glass is cold soaked and you introduce direct temp. extremes this may cause the damage to become a complete loss. Try using the heater instead to bring the glass to desired temp subtlely.

3. I would also check with your manufacturer for their resin spec's in cold weather applications.

4. Make sure you cure properly.

Hope this helps and good luck.



Pay it foward,
