Glass repair for very small chips? - 08-16-2004, 04:57 PM

A rock hit my windshield and put a very small chip in it. Not a crack, just a chip about the size of a couple pinheads. Not a big deal, but enough to notice in the right light. And being a brand new accord it bothers me just enough to want to fix it at least to the point where it's far less obvious.

Has anyone used any of the glass repair kits and if so, which one did you use, how well did it work, and would it be good for the kind of chip i described?

I have never used a glass repair kit, but I have had a chip or two fixed. I took it to a glass shop and they did something with a suction cup and some resin I think. I couldn't tell it was there and I have not had any cracking in the windshield. I think it may have cost me twenty clams or so, but I think it was worht it.


I don't believe in grit guards.

Sounds like the little kit I tried. I wasn't too impressed with it, but I didn't know what I was doing. I can still see the chip, but can't feel it as much as I could before. Probably worth paying a pro to do it :dunno
