1. Editorâs Pick: Rain-X 600001 Windshield Repair Kit
Itâs tough to start a list like this with anything other than a very affordable kit from a well-known maker of glass products. Said to repair all types of laminated windshields by minimizing the appearance of chips, this product has been reviewed by over 16,000 people which is a very large sample size.
Not everyone was happy, borne out by the 18 percent of customers who gave this item a one- or two-star rating. Still, an examination of negative reviews seems to point to either unrealistic expectations or user error. In fact, the seller explicitly states that the crack vanishes when examined at a 45-degree angle and that poor resin is achieved when it is applied too quickly. This will apparently leave air pockets, a source of consternation for some complainants.
