I have a very small chip at the top of my windshield and it seems that I've heard of a product that repairs small chips. Has anyone heard of, seen or used such a product? If so does it work and where do I get it? TIA.

 

Most windshield replacement shops can repair small chips...they'll have the right stuff and know-how to do the repair right.

 

what exactly is it that they do? do they just fill it in or cover it up?

i got two chips in my windshield, within 2 days time

 

same here. it seems like the s's windshield chips really easily. or maybe it's just really low to the ground.

 

ive had 3 rock chips and i just filed a claim with my insurance and they found a shop and i didnt pay anything if i get 3 more i might as well replace the windshield.....

 

Call your insurance, I got mine fixed for free too. No deductable.

 

yes, there are products you can buy at any auto supply store to fill in the chip(hole), and i've tried using those with mixed results(i used permatex). the suction tube doesn't provide enough force to push the sealant throughout all the small cracks. best to go to someone that knows what to do and how to do it.

Thanks for the answers. I am aware of the no-cost replacement offered in my state but this chip is small and above the line of sight and actually could live with it if necessary. I'm goihg to try one of the fix's that were suggested first . To me it would seem a shame to trash an otherwise perfectly good windshield because of this very minor and unobtrusive chip.

 

I'd recommend having a pro take care of it. Whether you use insurance or not is your call. I generally don't on small items like this.

 

i did this and AAA wouldnt tell me if its covered or not. they told me i just have to go to the shop and find out myself. AAA royally sucks.
