Question windshield chip

when i first got my isf, about 3 weeks later i had about six+ small tiny chips the size of a pebble that are just annoying
ive tried searching the forum, i remember before i bought my f reading that it had a weak windshield and that its happened to others probably far worse then me
i was searching to find a good remedy that everyone on here may have pointed out for anyone in my situation
but i could not find anything
ive taken it to apple auto glass and they said that they were too small to fix, and for them to even attempt it that they would charge 75 for the first and 35 for each additional and its just not worth 300 for me to fix
ive looked online for diy kits, some look good but im unsure if they will work for me and if they are a good method to use

and im sure someone on here has experience with this sort of thing
can someone please point me in the right direction?
thanks
I love my car

Know what you mean. Shucks sells a chip repair kit for $10 and it really works. You just need to let the car sit for 24 hrs after doing it. I've filled some pretty big chips on my cars over the years. The most recent one you could see the laminate seperate under the glass but inserting the stuff under pressure filled it and now you have to look really hard to see it.

If it is a deep chip, you may need to do the application twice. Be patient. It's acutally quite rewarding to do as well.
