Definitely—in fact, many crack and chip repair kits are available in the marketplace. Some of these repair kits use an adhesive ring and a syringe to apply resin to the crack and pressurize the resin in a funnel-like device. Chip repairs using these pressurized kits can be very impressive, but they can typically only repair one chip. Other kits do not create the same level of vacuum but can be used on multiple chips and on cracks.

You can find windshields on most online car parts websites. Ensure the website is legitimate, as windshields can be easily damaged during delivery.
