Default so I tried that cracked windshield repair kit from autozone

It sucks. I spent $10 for the "system" which had nothing more then a syringe, pin, alcohol swab, and a plastic suction thing.
Direction said to leave it with tube upside down for 30 min in direct sunlight and 1 hour on cloudy days. I left it on for about 1 hour even though it was sunny. When I took it off, the epoxy still didn't dry so it spilled down my window. I was like wtf, it was in direct sunlight and its 80 degrees outside!
I'll rather wait till it cracks more and then replace windshield.

It cost $80 for one of those travel windshield repair guys. It took him 30 mins, 28 of othose minutes waiting and chatting with me, to finish. Great way to make some money. And the repair was flawless. It was a while ago, but I think it was for removing 2 separate cracks.
