ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for repairing dimpled or cracked windshields is set forth. One portion of apparatus utilizes a suction cup, a laterally extending support member, three adjustable legs to level the support member approximately parallel to the windshield, and a threaded housing in inserted therethrough to bear against the windshield. The housing incorporates a plunger which operates as a syringe to inject a fluid resin for repair. On the opposite face, a set of suction cups holds a support member so that the end face of a bolt can be moved against the windshield to slightly bow the back side of the damaged area. The repair procedure includes the optional step of drilling into the dimple or crack, bowing from the back side, injection under pressure wherein the injection step is through an O-ring seal.
