I have a couple of rock chips, one in the rear drivers side glass and one on the moon roof glass. Can they repair these? Does resin repair work? They are not big but I'm ****....I think I am going to refuse to ever drive on the highway again!

 

I am an insurance agent and my company will repair rock chips at no charge, call and ask your agent if your insurance company will do the sme. Having said that, rock chip repairs simply stop the chip/star/crack from spreading. It doesn't make it "disappear". So if you don't mind looking at the damaged area, make sure you get a glass company to take care of this immediately.

 

I thought they made it very hard to see, am I wrong? They are small, but glass chips are white so they stick out.

 

Easy to see, very visable in most cases

 

Whatever you do, make sure they use the type of glass repair that uses the vacuum seal. It continually pushes the product into the chip and fills in the area quite nicely. The chips/dings are barely visible after this type of repair.

 

I have AAA insurance and they have fixed almost a dozen chips in my glass already; no charge to me.

Some are more visible than others after repair--just depends on the shape of the crack(s) and whether the resin can penetrate the whole damaged area.

Here is a thread on DIY repair.

 

Take it into a rock chip repair place and ask them. The place that I go to for glass repair (long story as to why I have an auto glass repair shop on tap... ) does all sorts of glass repair and charges 30$ for the first chip, and 10$ for each additional chip after the first one. They also examine the glass free of charge, so it can't hurt to take it in and have them look at it.

Good luck!

 

A good (professional) repair will normally just look like a "hard" water spot on your glass. Repairs to a windscreen are not as opaque as those done to a panel of glass that does not have an interior laminate.

 

My carrier, State Farm Insurance, will also do window glass chip repair for free. This can be very good, if the chips are small and in an area that is not near the direct line of sight. Otherwise, if the area is larger, or in a line of sight, it can be annoying. Doesn't hurt to try it, if you will be reimbursed, and even then, it's pretty inexpensive. But, if it is big and in a main area, you might be better off just replacing the entire windshield.

 

We are talking about very small chips, about 1/8th inch in size, but thanks for the suggestions guys!

 

If they are less than the size of a pencil eraser, or they are not very deep, these chips may not be chips at all, and might be scuffs. Scuffs are not fixable unless the glass is hit a second time in the same location, which would make them chips, and scuffs usually don't cause problems on down the road.
