Windshield Repair Places
Driving home from Detroit last Sunday encountered a head-on collision with a rock....
go figure, two months with the TSX...I guess it's better than hitting the body.
Small, dime-size to smaller chip/crack on the lower passenger side of the windshield.
I wanted to get this sealed before it spread, does anyone have recommendations on a good place to get this done at? Preferably in the Cleveland local area.
J called the dealership and apparently they don't do this work, gave her a place to call which hasn't returned her call, so I figured I'd ask for some expertise!

I've used the DIY repair kits a couple of times. I believe it is a clear acrylic that uses UV to cure, so you need to do the repair outside on a sunny day. The kits I bought used a syringe to pull a slight vacuum over the chip, which then theoretically pulls the acyrlic into the chip. They make the chips slightly less noticeable, but not really a big difference. They've done a good job of keeping the chips from spreading, though, which was my main concern. Your chip sounds like it is not in your direct line of site, so you may consider this.
Also, you might check with your insurance to see if windshield repair is part of your policy.

I also know someone in Solon who can fix it with vacuum repair....I had a brand new windshield put in last year, on the way home from that some guy in a 240sx through a rock up and put a small crack in it had the shop do the vacuum repair and it came out great
