Default windshield chip repair question

Hope this isn't redundant to another thread... I've use the search function to check first.

Anybody have experiance fixing a minor windshield chip? I'm talking in the millimeter catagory... nothing to write home about but may as well fix it. Nowhere near the HUD surface I might add. Thanks.

Default Windshield Chip

The Glass Doctor did a good job on my C6--and also with several on my C5. I would use them again.

It seems that the guys that do dentless autobody repair also do windshield repair.

Default forum comes thru as usual

Question asked.... question answered. Thanks all. Additionally, the Glass Doctor (aka windshield Doctor) also made arrangements thru my insurance company to affect repairs free of deductable or impact to premiums. When you fix the chip early, everyone wins.

I had a small fish eye windshield chip that was repaired. A year later when it got real cold it developed a crack. That crack kept growing until it reached the edge of the windshield.

I realize that many windshields have been repaired successfully, but there are exceptions!
