Reviews around thing (4.56 of 5)

  • This product didn't do a damn thing
  • One important thing about this kit is that it uses the UV light from the sun to cure the epoxy, so keep that in mind.
  • The only positive thing is that it prevents the crack from spreading.
  • Another important thing to remember is that when you are using the razer blade to clean off the excess resin, you'll hear a screeching sound
  • The more important thing for me is that the kit stopped the cracks from growing.

Reviews around result (4.14 of 5)

  • Just be patient and follow the instructions, and you should see great results.
  • Follow the instructions exactly and you'll get good results
  • I was skeptical after using a different kit on another vehicle years ago with poor results, but this kit worked very well
  • While the result isn't perfect, probably because I left it way too late to try to fix, it is much less obvious, from outside and inside
  • It was a disappointing experience, the amount of liquid was very low, I did not succeed in using it the right way, and the result was bad

Reviews around expectation (3.94 of 5)

  • I had only modest expectations when I bought this to repair a star-shaped break on my windshield
  • Set reasonable expectations, watch a few of the youtube instructions videos, you will be happy with process and results.
  • This product exceeded my expectations and honestly I can't even see where I did the repair.
  • I see the negative reviews, and I'm inclined to believe that those are from people who either tried to rush through the repair, didn't follow the directions, or had unrealistic expectations
  • Doesn't work as it says

Reviews around kit (3.39 of 5)

  • This is one of the best reasonably priced windshield repair kits
  • It's an excellent, effective, simple and inexpensive windshield repair kit.
  • The more important thing for me is that the kit stopped the cracks from growing.
  • Bought this cheap kit figured I would try before taking it somewhere as it's generally ~$30 to fix them at a windshield repair shop
  • The Rain-X kit simply 'pushes' resin into the cracks, and its very ineffective

Reviews around advertise (3.27 of 5)

  • Did not work as advertised, my crack looks just like before I applied the product
  • My only complaint (sort of) is that it doesn't hide the cracks in the windshield as advertised, but I'm more than satisfied that it stopped them from spreading and saved a buck!
  • In the end, though, it was enough to pass inspection but it didn't work as advertised.
  • This was received as advertised and worked well for the small crack on my windshield (it was about 6 inches long).
  • Disappointing as I have 3 windshields that need repair.

Reviews around day (1.80 of 5)

  • I even tested the durability by dumping warm water on the windshield on a cold day 3 degrees Fahrenheit and surprisingly no crack!!
  • Worked just as well as when I paid a company to come to my house and do the repair for $120
  • Works sometimes.... gotta read instructions 3+ times and ask yourself if it’s just a bad day to decide to work on a windshield
  • Weather than must be considered or it’s a bad day for you and your windshield.
  • However, I can still see the crack clear as day, but after 2 months it has not gotten any

Reviews around user error (1.00 of 5)

  • I`m sure this would work great, due to user error though the crack doubled in size
  • This is the first time using this kit, maybe it was a user error
  • I think the product could be useful but there is a high risk of user error
  • Keep in mind when you look at many of the low star ratings that this is a product that has its limitations and the results are strongly dependent on the individual using the product and all of the 1-star reviews are usually a result of user error or simply trying to fix something this product isn't capable of fixing
