Are DIY Windshield Repair Kits Any Good?

Today I perform a rock chip repair on the Tesla Model 3's windshield using a $13.99 kit from Amazon. I then compare the results against a previous professional repair.

I purchased the kit and supplies for the repair myself, and I am not sponsored or endorsed by the manufacturer of the repair kit.

Overall I found the repair kit to work well, though not perfectly. The center of the rock chip filled in nicely; however, the outward radiating cracks were still noticeable after the repair. As this was my first time using the kit, lack of experience probably contributed to any shortcomings in the results. The repair appeared visually comparable to a previous professional repair on a different rock chip, so I am definitely satisfied with the way it turned out. I found the kit easy to use and the instructions were easy to follow.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for watching!
