chip repair

i have a small chip in my windshield.has anybody used those chip repair kits from the auto stores?? any success??

Can't help you with the kit.

I can tell you my insureance paid the $50 for a guy to come out and do the chip repair.

He said most insurance companies would rather pay for the repair w/o a deductible than pay for a replacement windshield.

Basically what SkiCalif said... They make a goo that you can inject into the chip to make it less visible and reinforce it. If it's an "interior dimple" kinda thing, it shouldn't crack any further. Just avoid undue pressure on the glass near it.

who guys are right. i called the auto glass company. they are going to come out and repair it. its easier that way, plus like you said, the insurance company will waive the deductible.

In several states (Florida for sure) it is illegal to drive with a cracked windshield. And by law, and insurance company has to fix the windshield with no deductable.

My winshield is chiped in a couple of spots from those studid salt trucks in the sierra nevada. I am just going to claim it on my insurance and get a new winshield. lata

I have used one of the repair kits you buy from an auto parts store on my truck. It was about 5 yrs ago and still no problems.
