So, I was driving home from work, and all of a sudden a rock flew and chipped my windshield.

The chip is small about the size of dot made by a pen. It did not crack or went through. However, if I run my finger in the area, I can feel the chip.

Upon closer inspection, I find a lots of micro size chips that were probably made my sand-size rocks. Looks like little white dots.

Is this fixable, or should I even bother?

*chip is located at the bottom portion of the driver's side. (About 1.5-2in from the dash)

 

I would fix it. With summer here, if its a hot day and you wash your car, it could cause it to crack. Just get it filled.

 

Any recommendations of where I can get it filled?

 

It happens. I live in AZ happened not too long ago and it started spreading. Good thing I have glass coverage and found a shop that replaced it with oem Lexus glass from the dealer. Covered under insurance!

 

Since this chip is very small. I don't think it would be necessary to replace the whole thing.

I think filling is the best option. I've seen some filler kits on amazon. Any of these work?

 

Anyone got experience with these DIY kits?

I love living in Ky. Free window replacements, and does not hurt insurance. It's something that is repaired to be done by all insurance companies.

 

So, I called Safelite. They quoted me $100 out of pocket to fix. I'm not sure about my insurance policies (I have farmers), since I am still under my parents. But I'm more than willing to just pay on my own, if its a decent price.

 

There might be a few window shops that will fill a chip for free. I know of at least one in the Bay Area. Since it's generally pretty cheap, I don't think your insurance would cover unless you have something that covers glass.

 

In the past my insurer has waived the deductible for rock chip repairs, which allows repair with nothing out of pocket. Might want to give your insurance a call and check.

 

check your insurance company. Liberty Mutual in my state will contract safelite and they come out to wherever you are and do it in less than 30 minutes.

 

Uploaded a photo. I don't know if you guys can tell. But the "chip" is circled red.

Its pretty small, is it worth fixing?

 

You mind sharing where this shop is? I also live in the Bay Area.

 

weird thing is i bought my car 2 week in to driving i chip in two different place and need it to be filled but been procrasinating -_-''

 

I called a Co-Worker's friend at AAA, the guy said chips like the one in my photo aren't repairable because its merely a nick in the top layer. If it did not penetrate thru, or cause any cracks or spreading. It can't be repaired.
