Windshield Repair: This is easy, especially for star chips with minimal to no cracks. Get a DIY windshield repair kit. Then clean a 12-inch square area around the damage with a glass cleaner. Use a razor blade to smooth out the surface of all defects and pick any loose pieces of glass inside the chip. Use the plunger to inject the adhesive into the windshield and allow it to do its work.
Power Steering Flush: Start by getting your turkey baster. Use it to siphon out as much of the old fluid as you can from the fill canister in the engine compartment. Place the old fluid in a plastic container. You should be able to get about 90% of the fluid out with this method. Then pour the new fluid in, start the car and work the steering wheel to each side. Turn off the engine, let the engine cool, then switch it on and repeat three or four times till the fluid looks clear.
