Rain-X windshield repair kit - my experience |

Hey folks, I wanted to share my experience with the Rain-X windshield repair kit, especially for those of you who, like me, cringe every time you see a new chip or crack on your Mustang’s windshield. You know the drill—you're cruising down the highway, minding your own business, and suddenly thunk—a rock flies up and nicks your windshield. At first, it’s just a tiny chip, but we all know how quickly those can spread into a full-blown crack if you don’t deal with it ASAP.
So, that’s exactly what happened to me a few weeks back. I noticed this small chip right in my line of sight, and I knew I had to do something before it got worse. Replacing the whole windshield can be pretty expensive, and I wasn’t ready to drop that kind of cash, so I decided to try out the Rain-X windshield repair kit. I’ve heard mixed reviews about these DIY kits, but I figured it was worth a shot—if it worked, I’d save a ton of money.
The kit comes with everything you need: resin, an applicator, and a few other bits and pieces. The instructions were straightforward, which is great because I’m not exactly a DIY expert. You start by cleaning the area around the chip to make sure there’s no dirt or debris that could mess with the repair. Then, you set up the applicator over the chip and apply the resin. The idea is to get the resin to fill in the chip or crack completely so that it bonds with the glass and stops the damage from spreading.
Here’s the thing—patience is key here. You need to give the resin time to settle and work its magic. The kit suggests parking your car in the sun to help the resin cure faster, and I found that this really made a difference. Once the resin is cured, you scrape off any excess with the little razor blade they provide, and voila! The chip was still visible, but much less noticeable, and more importantly, the crack didn’t spread any further.
Now, I’m not gonna say it’s a miracle cure. If you’re dealing with a big crack or if the damage is in a tricky spot, you might still need to call in the pros. But for small chips and cracks, this kit really does the trick. I’ve been driving around for a few weeks since I did the repair, and so far, the crack hasn’t budged.
If you’ve got a chip on your windshield and don’t want to spend a fortune on repairs, I’d definitely recommend giving the Rain-X kit a try. It’s easy to use, and it could save you a lot of hassle (and money). Anyone else out there tried it? Did it work for you? Or maybe you’ve got some tips for getting the best results? I’m all ears—let’s hear what worked for you!

Where is the pcv valve on 2010 Ford Mustang 4.6 V8 |

2010 Mustang with the 4.6L V8, and I want to replace the PCV valve while I’m at it. Lately, I’ve noticed a slight drop in performance, and after some research, it seems like a clogged PCV valve could be the culprit. I’ve checked around the engine bay, but I’m struggling to locate it.

Reducing Fog in Your Ford Mustang with Rain-X Anti Fog Products |

So, let me tell you about this annoying problem I used to have with my Mustang—fogged-up windows. If you’ve ever lived through a cold winter, you know exactly what I’m talking about. Every time I got into my car, especially on those frosty mornings, the inside of the windshield would fog up like a steam room. I’d try cranking up the defroster, but that took forever, and I’m not exactly a patient person first thing in the morning. I even resorted to wiping the fog away with my sleeve (yeah, I know, not the smartest move, and it left streaks everywhere). After a while, I realized I needed a better solution.
So, I did a bit of research and decided to give Rain-X Anti Fog a shot. To be honest, I was pretty skeptical at first—I mean, it’s just a liquid, right? How much difference could it really make? But I figured, why not? Anything to avoid the daily windshield wipe-down ritual.
The application was super simple. I just cleaned the inside of my windows (because you don’t want to apply this stuff on a dirty surface), then poured a little bit of the Rain-X Anti Fog onto a cloth and wiped it across the glass. The directions said to buff it out a bit afterward, so I did. No rocket science involved, and it only took a few minutes.
The next morning, I hopped into my Mustang, expecting the usual foggy mess, but guess what? The windows were crystal clear. No fog at all. I actually had to do a double-take because I wasn’t used to seeing so clearly right away. It was like my car had magically decided to cooperate with me for once. The stuff really does work, and I didn’t have to sit there waiting for the defroster to kick in or awkwardly wipe the glass with my sleeve.
Since then, my mornings have been a lot smoother. I can just jump in, start the car, and go—no more messing around with fogged-up windows. And it’s not just a one-time thing either. The treatment seems to last for a while, so you don’t have to reapply it constantly, which is a bonus.
If you’re dealing with the same foggy window drama, I’d say give this stuff a try. It’s definitely made my life easier, and I can’t believe I didn’t start using it sooner. Anyone else used Rain-X Anti Fog? I’m curious if you’ve had the same results or if you’ve got any tips for getting even more out of it. Let’s hear your thoughts!

2001 Ford Mustang V6 pcv valve location |

Hi folks, I’m helping out a friend who’s just getting into car maintenance with his 2001 Mustang V6. We’re doing a tune-up, and I figured it’s a good idea to check and possibly replace the PCV valve since the car has been idling a bit rough lately. I’ve looked under the hood, but I can’t seem to spot it. I’m hoping someone here knows the exact location so we can get this done without tearing the whole engine bay apart. Appreciate any advice you can share!
