Start by preparing the surface by scraping and cleaning any loose glass particles out of the pit.
Use an alcohol wipe to clean the area surrounding the chip on both the inside and the outside of the windshield.
Once the area is clean, peel the backing off one side of the application ring so that the adhesive on that side is exposed.
Place it carefully on the windshield, with the exposed adhesive against the glass… the hole around the chip… and the tab pointed up.
Now, peel the backing off the side facing you.
Align the plastic injector base with the ring you’ve secured around the chip, making sure the tabs are aligned… and press it into place.
Apply pressure all the way around the base to make sure the seal is airtight.
Cut or twist the tip off the lid to your tube of resin.
The tip will fit inside the tube on the injector base.
Insert the tip into the base… and squeeze three-quarters of the resin into the tube.
