Cleat stop. Now I was shown this by an american guy who came over to teach me WSR in 1988 so if the terminology is wrong then you lot over there are to blame not me.

It is the drill hole and mini bullseye you put in a crack that goes under the seal, about 1/2 in from the edge of the seal, this adds overall strenght to the repair, If it does crack out again from the edge it will always stop here.

Gotcha screenman..as I understand this puting this cleat stop/mini bull near the edge of the windshield at the sealis supposed to give the resin more area to bond to? sounds good to me. I will make this part of my procedure at glass edge.

spot on guy I am glad someone is willing to follow advise. We get so little feed back sometimes on this forum, it is good when someone acknowledges the time and effort we put in.
