Windshield chips?

[Jason Fry]

Any of y’all use those chip repair places for windshields? Does it work, or should I plan on a new windshield altogether?

I have had good results with them. As long as it is just a chip.

I have done the DIY kit twice, One came out perfect, the other not as good, The not so good one has not cracked and it's been a few years.

They work. Fixed a chip years ago that never opened up.
Ignored one this year and the first time I turned on the defrost it spread across the whole windshield.

Good to know, thanks. Occasionally the easy way out is actually easy...

My insurance covers it, no charge.

To expound on this, it doesn’t matter what your deductible is, it could be a $1000, and if you have “other than collision coverage” then your insurance will pay for the chip repair. No cost to you.

They work and it's free with your insurance. A new windshield will not be free. No brainer.

Do windshield chips bother folks? I didn't know this was a thing honestly. I've never owned a vehicle without a chip in the windshield lol. Owned vehicles for 30yrs and never knew any different........learn something every day I suppose

If you fill the chip it won't run on you in the summer sun or whe. You turn the defrost on in the winter. Iv had 2 done with good luck and I know my dad has had 1.

Free chip repair and have them put you a new pair of wiper blades on when they repair it.

Some folks aren’t tightwads and prefer to keep their things nice

All. The. Time.

Get those chips repaired before they spread into a crack. On every occasion but one, the repair yielded a clear and seamless finish. Whether your insurance covers it or not, a chip repair is always less expensive than a windshield replacement.

I understand that, but do they actually cause problems? I've never had a windshield shatter due to one. Maybe I've been lucky, and yes I'm a tightwad
