How to Repair Chips and Cracks on Your Windshield

Identify the damage

Types include:

  • Chip: A simple divot without any radiating cracks.
  • Bull’s eye: Essentially, a divot with a small crater around it.
  • Spider: A divot or bull’s eye with small cracks radiating outward.
  • Crack: A long thin split that may include a visible chip that started it.
    • In general, repairs for chips, bull’s eyes and spiders are the same, while cracks require a slightly different approach.
    • The damage I repaired was a spider chip, but the steps are similar to most other chips and crack repair kits. Modify as needed for your specific damage or kit.
    • The painter’s tape on the inside of the windshield is there for photographic clarity. You don’t need that tape on your own repair.
