Resin injector guide for windshield crack repair

Apparatus for repairing an elongated crack in a surface layer of vehicle windshield by injector means movable along the crack to inject a transparent filler into the crack along its length,

• said apparatus comprising a bridge structure having a plurality of feet securable to the windshield at spaced points,
• said injector means comprising an injector having a portion engageable with the windshield and overlying the crack with a filler discharge opening facing the crack in a preferred orientation of the injector to dispense filler into the crack,
• said bridge structure having a guide rail structure extending along the length of the crack,
• a movable carrier carrying said injector,
• interconnecting means between said bridge structure and said carrier for supporting and guiding said carrier to enable movement of the injector in contact with the windshield surface along the crack and for maintaining the injector on said carrier in said preferred orientation for dispensing filler into the crack as the carrier is moved along said crack during a crack repair operation.
