Case Study 02 Windscreen Repair Kit
From Specialist Resin
to a Market-Ready
DIY Windscreen Repair Kit
A Malaysian automotive glass repair brand approached Moomol to develop a complete DIY windscreen repair kit for the consumer market. While the kit included the tools required to perform the repair, its real performance depended on something much less visible — the resin.
The resin made it work.
The client wasn't looking for a collection of tools. They needed a complete repair product.
A DIY windscreen repair kit needs more than the physical tools required to perform the repair. The components need to work together as a complete system, the repair material needs to deliver the required performance, and the finished product needs to be simple enough for consumers to understand and use.
Moomol was engaged to help turn that requirement into a complete, market-ready product.
The most important part of the kit wasn't the tool.
The repair tools make the process possible, but they do not determine the quality of the repair on their own. At the centre of the product was the repair resin — the critical material responsible for filling the damaged area of the windscreen.
The resin had to be right.
Start with the right material. Then build the right formulation.
Rather than relying on a generic repair resin, the project used specialist resin material sourced from the United States. The material was then prepared by the manufacturer using a confidential proprietary composition for the intended windscreen repair application.

Completed resin prepared for application testing by the client.
First sample. First test. Approved.
Product development does not always require multiple rounds of reformulation. When the first resin sample was completed, it was delivered to the client for application testing. The client tested the resin and was satisfied with its performance. No adjustment to the formulation was required.
A good resin still needed a complete system around it.
Once the critical material had been validated, the project moved from individual components towards a complete consumer product. The resin was combined with the tools and accessories required to create a complete DIY windscreen repair kit.
Part of the physical repair system.
Supports controlled resin application.
The critical repair material.
Supports the curing process.
Used during the finishing process.
A DIY product has to do more than work. It has to explain itself.
Unlike a product used exclusively by trained technicians, a DIY repair kit needs to guide the end user through the process. Moomol supported the development of both the product packaging and the user instruction manual, helping turn the components into a consumer-ready product.
From components to a retail product.
Packaging brought the resin, repair tools and accessories together as one complete commercial product.
From product to usable solution.
The instruction manual provided users with a structured guide to carrying out the repair process.
Approved once. Built to be produced repeatedly.
With the resin approved and the complete kit defined, the project moved into commercial production. Materials, components, packaging and production had to come together consistently for every order.
Specialist resin material sourced from the United States.
Prepared using the manufacturer's confidential proprietary composition.
Repair tools and accessories consolidated into the complete kit.
Product prepared as a complete consumer offering with supporting instructions.
Produced according to the approved product configuration.
Completed kits prepared and delivered for commercial sale.
From product approval to repeat demand.
More than sourcing the parts.
The project required coordination across material sourcing, manufacturer capability, formulation, product components, packaging, user instructions and commercial production.
We helped bring together the material, manufacturer, product and presentation required to make it commercially ready.
Have a product idea that needs more than an off-the-shelf solution?
Whether the critical element is a material, formulation, component, packaging or manufacturing process, Moomol can help coordinate the journey from requirement to commercial production.
