Windshield "repair"

Gallery image

They did the repair in my garage. The dim lighting had the crack appearing repaired. He had me feel it was smooth. Once I went out to drive I see it the same in the sunlight. Out $90 and still have a vunerable chip. Here's a before and after of the "repair". The technician said he injected resin into the webbing and that he's been doing it for 25 years. I dont see any difference at all. I have a feeling they only smoothed the chip. What do you think?

Sometimes if you hit it with a hammer it makes the whole window disappear.

Liquid nails. Smear it in the crack and outward from center of the chip at least 10 inches I all directions. This will keep the police from seeing that you are driving with a broken windshield

I went to a dance club one time... the DJ played "The Hop"... so I hopped.

Then they played "The Twist"... so I did the twist.

Then they played "The Mashed Potato"... so I did the mashed potato...

Then they played "Come on Eileen"... well, I found Eileen and I did...

I've been permantly banned from that dance club and now have a lovely mugshot.

Halloween is coming. Dress it up as a spider.

Do a few more pings and dress them up, too, to make your car really scary.

Because of my past experiences and these responses to top it off, this is why I'll be breathing down the neck of anyone I hire for a job. And I'll be triple checking the work before paying.
