Instructions For Use

DIRECTIONS : Perform repair in shaded area (not in direct sunlight) with the windshield temperature between 50°F and 75°F (10°C to 25°C). Do not allow the resin to come into contact with car’s finish or painted surfaces as this may cause damage. The Windshield Repair Kit repairs damages not exceeding 1 1/4 inch in diameter.

READ ALL DIRECTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING REPAIR.

• Clean windshield around the damaged area with the alcohol towelette. Clean loose pieces of glass from the damaged area with the pushpin. Suggested: Place a cloth near the bottom of the windshield, below the damage. This will stop any resin that might flow from the repair area. A, B

• Take the adhesive disc and peel the backing off ONE side of the adhesive disc. With tab pointing upward, line up the hole in the disc with the center of the damage. Make sure tab points upward. Press the adhesive disc onto the glass. Ensure that the whole adhesive disc is in contact with the windshield. Look at the disc from the inside of the vehicle to make sure there are no air bubbles. C

• Remove the cap from the resin tube. Away from painted surfaces and your face, carefully cut tip off (approximately 1/8 inches) to open resin tube. Place resin tube stem 1/4 inch into the pedestal opening and carefully squeeze tube to load resin into pedestal. Once tube is squeezed, remove resin tube from pedestal. Wipe off any residual resin from tip. Replace cap on resin tube and save any remaining resin for use in step 9. F

• Make sure that the plunger is pushed all the way into syringe prior to use. Carefully and firmly twist the tip of the syringe into the pedestal. The fit between syringe and pedestal should be tight. G
