Customer Reviews

Permatex had, in my opinon, a decent product. They changed it and now it's just terrible. Do yourself a favor and go try out a competing product called Fix-a-Windshield. I reviewed that one, as well.
Here's what Permatex changed for the worse:
1) No more suction cup. Used to have a clear suction cup through which you could watch bubbles coming up as you pumped out the air. No longer. Now it's an opaque pedestal which you have to stick to your windshield with a 2-way adhesive patch. Can't see through it, and can't verify that the crack has been filled before removing the pedestal.
2) Not enough resin. Used to be the syringe was filled with resin. Now a little tiny tube of resin is included, and it is not even enough to fill the bottom of the pedestal.
3) No more pumping with the syringe. This was the only effective way to get the air our of the crack to be able to fill with resin. Now there are pre-set positions for the syringe: 1) lower-notch: vacuum out the air. 2) upper notch: push in the resin. This could be regarded as an improvement IF you could see through the pedestal to be able to verify that the repair was complete.
4) Adhesive patch! Ugh, HORRIBLE! I was very careful to follow the directions. I COULD NOT REMOVE the pedestal and keep the adhesive patch from tearing apart. So, this left a mess on my windshield, as I tried to get the pieces of adhesive off...all now gooey with resin, running down the windshield.
Why did they mess with this product? I've repaired 3 stars on this windshield with their older product. Now they've lost a customer.

I have a very small (approximately 0.25") star and crack in my windshield caused by a rock. Far less than the 12" this product is supposed to work on. I used this product and followed the directions for my type of crack. The clear stuff took well over 1 hour at 51 degrees F to dry, and I can still see the crack in my windshield. It just doesn't work.
