Windshield Repair Kit Parts
These are generally the items required to do repairs on most windshield
stone damage. Included in this group of parts is a pushpin, adhesive
strip, pedestal, specially made syringe, UV polymer rosin, curing strip,
and a safety razor. There are alternate devices that will be covered
as we go through the list of items and their use. You will also need
a knife or scissors, drop cloths or towels, paper towels, and alcohol.

Syringe Injector
The special made syringe has two purposes. It is used to evacuate air
from the damage to allow the resin to flow more easily into the cracks
and then to apply pressure on the resin to force it deeper into crack
damage. The alternating vacuum and pressure cycle may be applied a couple
of times on stubbornly trapped air, but usually one cycle clears the air
from the crack.

There are also syringe type injectors that have plastic clips instead
of metal clips and have one or two notches. A few if the syringes used
for windshield repair don't have notches or clips. Each different
configuration is designed to be used slightly different to the others
although the net result of their operation is to inject a polymer resin
into the cracks in a windshield. We will look at some of these later in
the course and explain their philosophy of operation.

Spring Clip
The special designed syringe has a spring clip to hold the plunger in
place while waiting sufficient time for the vacuum and pressure cycles
to allow the trapped air to escape the crack and to allow the resin time
to flow into the crack under pressure.
|
Plunger with Upper and Lower Notchs
Along with the spring clip, there are notches in the syringe's plunger
that are engaged into the spring to hold the vacuum on the crack or pressure
on the resin during the repair.
The upper and lower notches are used to lock the plunger into position
either holding a vacuum or pressure on the repair while locked with the
spring clip. The lower notch being used to hold a vacuum and the upper
notch being used to hold pressure within the injector.
