Default Windshield Chip

I was driving on the Highway yesterday and a small rock hit my windshield pretty good. It almost looks like someone shot it with a BB Gun and the mark it left is about half the size of a penny. I'm going to one of those repair shops that does epoxy repairs. Does anyone have any experience with these repairs on Corvette windshields? They said it would cost 60 bucks and take about 30 min. Thanks.

I've got plenty of experience with the resin technique, if done properly they should do an excellent job, however the size of the chip that your describing may leave a slight mark. All and all its better than replacing the glass.

Good luck...............

Most GOOD glass repair places will tell you that it will be fine as long as it is not in the line of sight area.
