A crack in your windshield can spread quickly so it's critical to repair it as soon as you notice it. The crack can occur due to any number of reasons, such as rocks and sticks blown up from the road or another vehicle. Rather than taking your car in for repairs and paying more than you may need to, you can do the job yourself. All you need are a few supplies, most of which you may already have at home.

Put on safety goggles to prevent glass shards from flying into your eyes. Mix mild dish soap with water in a bucket, then soak a shop cloth in the solution.
2Place the corner of a razor blade into the crack, gently and slowly lifting out any loose pieces of glass.
3Rinse the windshield with the soapy solution then dry it off.
4Fill a syringe with liquid resin. Place the tip of the syringe into the bottle, draw back on the plastic end then tap it with your fingers to remove any air bubbles.
5Place a small amount of resin into the crack. Do not add too much. Let the resin spread throughout the crack. Allow it to cure for five hours.
6Scrape off any excess resin, once it has dried, using the flat edge of the razor blade.
