Verticle Glass Repair

[Bois]

There are previous threads regarding tips for repairing verticle glass but I ran up against one this weekend that I couldn't do. A gentleman approached me and said that he had an RV that had a rock chip at the bottom of the window with a 4-5" crack going up. I informed him that I could repair it. Now, I've done repairs on Hummers and Jeep Wranglers, and had done a repair on an RV the previous day. All had almost verticle glass. But this particular RV had VERTICLE glass - no slant at all (Winnebago Journey). My injector (Delta) was parallel to the ground. Since there was a crack above the chip, I couldn't mount the bridge above or below the chip and "play" with the adjusters. I asked the owner to lower the back chassis levelers and raise the front ones. This didn't improve the angle enough. I tried syringes with Delta's Premium and Magnabond resins. Each time I loaded the injector, resin would run out the mouth. I finally gave up and apologized.

Guess I need to find another type injector. Any comments???

Or you could call for tech support.

Or you could check out the current newsletter that discusses vertical repairs.

You should be able to repair as if it were a little sloped using a syringe and then just be patient. Don

Except of coarse when it comes from Matt or Jeff and they are ALLWAYS right!!!

Jeff is always right. Matt is only right when he agrees with Jeff.

Jeff is always right.

Hmm ... methinks that spouse O' Jeff would have the final say on this issue:)

He might read it, but he probably doesn't know how to post! And Dave, you're right...SHE definitely won't read it, or I uh...would have phrased it differently!

I have 3 motorhome dealers, I have never had a problem. I dont use Delta but have another wsr in town that does, he has never had a problem. Did you adjust your bridge?????
