Abstract

A windshield repair apparatus and method includes a fixture for holding an injector wherein the fixture includes plastic legs for slideably engaging a windshield during sliding movement of the fixture. A suction cup mechanism enables selective mounting of the apparatus to the windshield. The suction cup mechanism selectively positions the suction cup so as to not interfere with sliding movement of the windshield repair apparatus across the windshield, and allows for deployment of the suction cup against the windshield at the desired time. The fixture has engagement surfaces for the user's hand during handling of the windshield repair apparatus.
