Trunks aren't air tight
Early to Mid 2000's manufacturing mistakes never stop amazing me
Where to buy those tools, my Toyota pries 2000 rear windshield just hit by a tree , frame and windshield completely smashed, and I have no idea how to fix
Hey Chris fix can you please show us what's inside your garage
There aren't many (any) content creators that I watch and don't mind ad interruptions except for this channel. The content is too good NOT to watch👍👍👍👍
Very very useful video
Chris voice and personality sounds like the car stereo dude on whatever car stereo dudes name is but he's got a similar way to explaining the situation 👍
I even dont have a car… 😮🙂
Chris great video! Wife's brakes went you and she backed into the neighbors mailbox, breaking the hatch glass, this is vital information right here (as well as the brakes of course)!
P.S. I love how excited you get!
I'm 14 and you've inspired me to replace my mom's side window in her 2014 Honda Odyssey.
You can put urethane on glass its much easy
Don’t buy junk yard glass buy new glass it’s not much more money I’ve been doing this 20+ years. Great job
شكرأ لك.
I finally saw a windshield replacement video where they used plastic tools to avoid scratching the paint and taped up the blades. Other installers don’t even try to protect the car, they just cut with metal tools. The whole process looks fast, but they never show a close up of the paint to see if it’s damaged. The comments below even say it’s well done. are people’s standards really that low? This is the most careful video I’ve seen when it comes to protecting the car.
Those are bunch of tools I don't have. :^)
0:01 rare footage of the logo not being edited into the video
I called a ford dealer local and the guy was very rude and No! We don't do that here. Never will go to them again!
This may explain why I came across a damaged rear window
Engineer must hate him
Auto glass tech here, to anyone WITHOUT experience this video does almost fully show correct steps but he makes it look way easier that it is with his tools, while I believe y’all can do it expect to last probably 4x the amount of time the video takes especially with the tools shown thatll slow you down
I like
Literally was cutting my yard and shot rock through my rear windshield on my 2017 Honda civic touring.. barely got bottom right corner and shattered it! Thats why im here.. 😢😅
Tip: those hard plastic paint scrapers/razor blades from home improvement stores work great for getting the urethane off without scratching the paint
Just got the windshield and materials ordered. Hopefully it’s smooth sailing when they arrive but this video made it super easy and will be able to get it done at a fraction of the cost of what people are charging. Thanks Chris!!!
Thank you so much Chix. I am a women and you show me I can install
Thank you for this video. The vertical rear window in my mini excavator came loose but I was able to tape it before if fell . I'm a little concerned about keeping it in place when allowing the 3m urethane to cure so haven't started this project yet. Also, can I use a cotton ball or tiny foam brush to apply the primer or is it too "linty" ? Thank you in advance.
See if we never had Chrisfix we wouldn’t know how to he’s the best car person
D glass was satisfying
How do you sound so cheerful when doing such a difficult job? This job is meant for professional but you made it seem so simple. Keep up the good work! Pls keep your videos coming.
