Rain X 600001 Windscreen Repair Kit - white/clear

Product Information

However, I would imagine that for small repairs – and done correctly – the resin would last a long time. You can also use Rain-X on Shower Doors, or on any glass doors or windows in your home, for more amazing water-beading magic!

I was a bit nervous about scratching the “healthy” glass with the razor blade (the instructions tell you to be vigorous) but I cannot see any scratches or damage. On this particular day, my wife and I had tossed up taking the longer route to Queenstown, but as we were heading to a specific event in Queenstown we decided to save time and drive the Crown Range road.

Rain-X Windscreen Repair Kit

Screw pressure driver into the resin chamber to drive the resin into the break. Tighten until the pressure is almost screwed all the way in. Make sure the rubber mouth has opened wide. Allow 4-6 minutes, depending on the extent of the damage. Apply heat on the windshield with a hot air gun.

I was driving my Subaru Legacy wagon from the town of Wanaka – where I had been staying to do some skiing – across the Crown Range road (aka “Crown Ranges”). This is a twisty piece of road that effectively provides a shortcut over the mountains that separate Wanaka from Queenstown. It is also the highest piece of road in New Zealand. The Crown Range road route is highlighted in blue – you can see there is a difference of around 40km versus the grey route (1hr 24min) Apply with a dry cloth and wipe the Rain-X Rain Repellent in a circular, overlapping motion; once you’ve allowed the product to dry, re-apply again and, once the final coat is dry, remove the final layer with a dry cloth or a sprinkling of water.
