Anyone know of a product that you can purchase for your car here in the north to repair a small Spider Crack?
Or even know a mechanic shop that repairs them with what I understand is a pressured glue solution?


Thanks

There are crystal repair shops all over Santiago. Surely there is one in POP at worst.

Takes a few minutes and not a lot of jack.

oh also in the UK insurance normally pays for the small cracks, but probablly different there, but it shouldnt cost you much maybe 1000 pesos tops.

Are you talking about the auto junk yard just after Jose Luis on the right heading east? The American Store

Just this weekend, I saw a new trick for these types of cracks. The guy had a crack running down from the top of the windshield. He took two coins about the size of a US penny, spaced about 3 inches apart and about 2/3 of the way down the crack, and stuck them over the crack using SuperGlue. He said the crack had stopped running, and had been fine for months. Sure beat springing for a new windshield, and was a cheap street fix.
