Car windows are an amazing feat of technology. Windshields are constructed with two panes of very thin glass that is pressure-molded onto a clear piece of safety plastic. There is roughly 800 to 1,000 lbs. of atmospheric pressure that binds theses pieces of glass and plastic. Regardless of the technology used to make windshields, various types of road debris can often chip, crack or break windshield glass. There are a few simple things you can do to repair your windshield.

- 1
Visit any hardware or car supplies store and purchase a car windshield repair kit. These are very affordable and easy to use. Because of the various brands available, ask a salesperson which is best for your car make and model.
2Purchase a resin pack. Resin is a liquid solution you can inject into the crack and it will spread throughout until the crack is filled. The process will take just about an hour or so from start to finish. Some resin packs may require you to use some form of UV treatment to make the resin fuse with the windshield. Follow the instructions carefully.
3Visit a car repair shop or local glazer. A glazer specializes in anything related to glass. Repairing a crack is an easy process for them. You also can contact a mobile repair company that will come to your home or office and use their own tools to make the repairs.
