glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Been using glass medic and replacement parts
for a while and since safelite has taken over
I can not get parts for my fly bridge and wondering
if anyone else is in same situation or has moved to
different system ?

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Belron Technical (owns Glass Medic) announced earlier this year that they would no longer support retail operations and would be the exclusive supplier to Safelite in the US. They've probably tossed all the legacy stuff by now.
There are several good alternatives as long as your okay with manual tools, e.g., you're not using that automatic wsr contraption Safelite is so proud of. The NWRA has a listing of suppliers on their website. All of them except one would be a good alternative to Glass Medic and should be able to facilitate a very smooth transition.

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

You will do yourself a HUGE favor by going to a better pressure/vacuum system.
many out there, all are better than glassmedic by far. After a short period of time you will wonder what took you so long, and maybe after your first repair. NO JOKE!

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

I have tried delta kits but not a fan
I would appreciate any suggestions
I was with safelite in 87 when they
started with the glass medic pump system
went to the fly bridge and just stuck with it
no real reason familiarity I guess which
can breed contempt

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

For a quick repair I use a delta kit, for a precision well thought out repair I use glass weld system. THEY ARE NOT CHEAP!! but worth it.

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Many better systems out there now, time to cone out of the 80s

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Better than? what the old safelite system? I use to have one of them in the hard case way back in the day think I paid $150 it worked ok.

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Thank's for the suggestions
I will look into the glass weld Larry

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

I forgot to add and why I was looking
for something comparable to glass medic
was I guess novus uses same type of injectors
and when i bought a company out, they had purchased
a boat load of injectors that will probably
take ten years to use

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Larry, AEGIS has some great systems out there as well. The new QuikSilver Kit or the Advantage Kit should also be considered. The Single Shot Resins are perfect for large shops.

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Mark,

I keep forgetting that your a Representative for them I have not personally used one so I have no opinion either way. I think that you represent great products, like the paint protection blades, when I seen you drag that on your rental car it impressed me :) been using them ever since...

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

There is a system that was sold by AutoStock, and it was a no name Novus kit, I really liked that kit...

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Basic pressure/vacuum,simple bridge. Still is the best out there!

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

Check out Liquid Resins. They have several options including the old style.
Also have a new scratch removal system that is fast and no water sprayed on the glass. Also have Extractor line of tools......

Re: glass medic supplies or comparable to supplies

I use Ultrabond and it works great plus low maintenance tools
