Permatex Windshield Repair Kit (6-Pack) — Windshield Repair System
Product description
This repair kit is designed to create a permanent, airtight fix on most types of laminated windshield glass, addressing typical damage such as bulls-eyes, star breaks and small chips. The kit's resin cures by exposure to daylight and requires no on-site mixing, so you can complete a repair without preparing separate components.
The system ships with a redesigned, state-of-the-art delivery assembly that features an advanced spring-lock mechanism to control resin flow into the damaged area. It is intended for small to moderate damage — the product literature commonly cites repairs for chips up to about 1-1/4 inches, though some references note effectiveness for certain damage types up to 2.75 inches. The repair process calls for cleaning the impact site, mounting the delivery base and applying the resin through the injector to fill and seal the void.
The complete kit includes resin cartridges, the adhesive sealing disc and base, the injector/delivery assembly with the spring-lock feature, and clear, easy-to-follow instructions with photographs illustrating each step. The directions walk you through preparing the glass, attaching the tool, injecting resin, and allowing the material to cure. There are also step-by-step instructional videos available that demonstrate the full procedure.
Because the resin cures naturally with daylight, the final hardening step relies on sunlight exposure once the repair is completed. No heat lamps or chemical activators are required, and typical repairs take only minutes to perform, though optimal results depend on careful cleaning of the chip and precise application of the resin.
Pros
- Complete kit with injector and adhesive base
- No mixing required; cures with natural daylight
- Redesigned spring-lock delivery for controlled resin flow
Cons
- Can be messy if adhesive seal fails
- Variable results on deep or complex breaks
- Requires careful cleaning and patience for best outcome
VerdictThis six-pack kit delivers a do-it-yourself solution for common windshield chips and impact marks. The updated injector and spring-lock mechanism simplify resin application, and the kit contains the consumables and step-by-step photos to complete a repair without mixing. Results are generally good for shallow, contained damage, but performance depends on careful cleaning and correct placement; som

Fixed my chip
It patched the damage cleanly; the chip is barely visible now.

Handy on long trips
I carry these in my vehicle. They’re a quick, roughly 20-minute fix when I’m far from help, and most of the time the repair is nearly invisible unless rushed.

One pack instead of six
I ordered a six-pack but received a single kit, which delayed the work I had planned.

Nearly disappeared
A dime-sized impact almost vanished after using this. Application was straightforward and much cheaper than roadside repairs.

Good results if you take your time
Take care to clean the chip thoroughly and blow it out with compressed air. When applied properly, repaired chips are hard to spot.

Didn’t solve my chips
Tried the six-pack and followed the directions and videos, but three small chips remained. Spent time and effort with no improvement.

Application can be messy
The adhesive between the disc and base came loose on one unit and allowed excess resin to flow onto the glass. Wiping smeared it and cleanup took far longer than the repair itself.

Always in my car now
I keep one in every vehicle. When I catch rock chips quickly, I’ve prevented cracks from spreading and avoided the cost of a full windshield replacement.
