Any suggestion on what can repair a chip from a rock without bringing the car in or having somebody come to repair it? I got a nice little rock chip drivin back from the beach today...dam truck in front of me

 

how big is it? Is it "spiderwebbed"?

 

no not at all...it looks so small but underneath it looks like it went into window.

 

ive got somethin like that. i just dont let it bother me.

 

if you have comprehensive insurance on the car, your insurance company may offer to pay for repairing the windshield on your car for free. check with them first.

 

they make chip repair kits for windshields. I think they run around $20 from advanced. I am unaware as to how well they work though.

 

i have a chip on my windsheild too but i dont let it bother me. and i have had it since one week after i bought the car. the only good thing is that it has not spread at all.

Permatex makes a kit, they sell it at Pep Boys for $3-$5.00.
It's called "windshield bullet" or something like that. It's a hypodermic needle with clear epoxy in it. You inject it under the windshield coating into the chip or crack. I've been meaning to try it, I have some chips as well. I've heard it works really well.

You stick an adhesive disk on the windshield, use the syringe to suck the air out of the crack, then mix the epoxy & inject it. Let it cure overnight, then peel the stuff off & cut it smooth with a razor.

I had this chip for several years before I decided to do this. Small chip on the outside, but a 'cone-shaped' fracture going in thru the glass. It made it a lot better, but it's not invisible. I hear it works better if you don't wait so long before doing it. A lot of the glass-repair places use the same technique.

 

Superglue is your friend for small dings like that.
