window repair

My camaro has 2 ryce sized chips in the front window due to getting hit by rocks or something.I bought a product called "window saver" but it sounds like it'd be a pita.It has a seringe and at one point you got to push it/ pull it out every 10 minutes.Overall it's supposed to take 5 hours to fix.Does anyone know a easier way/product?

According to the intructions actual repair takes 30-45 minutes,but there's a 4 hour drying time.That's why I said it takes 5 hours.I have a hard time thinking of my car in the parking lot that long with a couple syringes stinging out of it.

If the chips are not in the direct field of view and don't threaten the strength of the windshield, you insurance company will probably have them professionally repaired for free. The pros will use a vacuum pump on the chip to make sure no moisture or air is trapped between the glass layers, then inject a clear sealant and finish/buff it flush with the original glass surface. It's certainly worth a phone call to find out if you can get this done.
