Had it done to my C5 and if you didn't know where to look, you'd never find them after they finish. I think it cost me $45 for the visit.

Wind Shield
I just took my first road trip in my new Black convertible I bought in early December. After the trip I noticed the windshield has two small pits in it where a small rock or debris must have hit it. It's not cracked, just small inclusions. No mater what I just can't quit looking at these places everytime I get in the car. Is there a product recommended to fill these with?

Not to worry there will be many more to come. Seems like even hitting bugs can chip the windshield.

Also Check With Your Insurance Company As Many Wave Any Glass Deductible For Chip Repair And Pay The Bill. The Glass Company Handles This Direct For You In Most Cases. Most Insurance Companies Don't Even Put Chip Repair Against Your Claim Record Either.

This DIY was posted recently by another forum member who seemed to have good results with a glass repair kit from a local auto parts store . . good luck!

Get used to it. The factory windshield seems to be prone to nicks and chips (soft glass?). Anyway, after two years of accumulated chips I just had my winshield replaced. The old one was like looking out during a snow storm when the sun hit the windshield. I hope the new glass is more resistant than the old.

Welcome to the wonderful world of C6 windshield - just get use to it and hope you get some miles out of it before you have to replace it - another process all within itself. Basically, because the car is so low to the ground and the C6 windshield is so big/actually part of the overall structural integrity of the car, it basically becomes a clearing house of rocks and just about anything else kicked up by vehicles on the road. About the only thing you can do is to avoid following to close to other vehicles..especially trucks.
