How to Repair a Windshield Chip or Crack?

I worried that if I  do not do this as soon as possible ,the chip can turn into a crack overnight,how much would it cost?

I was an Auto Glass installer for 43 years before I retired. I did chip repairs for over 30 years..... When you are doing the chip repairs, make sure to wear Nitrile gloves all the time and never get the resin on you... A long the last, I developed an allergy to the resin and would break out in a rash. Bad stuff.......Also. Try using a single-edged, razor blade to scrape the dried resin from the glass.... Instead of using a "Slicing" motion (as shown in video) to remove resin, hold a single-edged razor blade at a 90% angle to the windshield and rub it back and forth, as if you were plaining down the excess resin....This will this process will make the repaired area even with the rest of the windshield... After you are done, use a little car wax to shine up the area..... There is also a product you can use called"PIt Glaze" but car wax will do just as well.... After the area is polish, you may not even see the damage............ Hope this helps............

Had a crack or chip in my trucks windshield for about a year now, not getting bigger or growing but it’s on drivers side & in your sight line, so it’s annoying.

Fixed 2 chips on the GF's car. They were within a quarter inch of each other in the field of view on the driver's side. I used the Rain-x kit and did 2 applications (one on each chip). I found that the Rain-x kit worked better than this type of kit, mostly because of the precision that the applicator kit has using a smaller area to contain the resin over the actual crack. I used 7 drops of resin for each application. Both chips now appear to be barely visible, almost like a dried water spot on the glass. From inside looking out, they are invisible.
