If you get a chip,it needs to be filled with a 2 part windshield repair epoxy as soon as you can after it happened. If you wait too long,the chip fills with dirt and debris and that makes it very difficult to clean out and the epoxy doesn't get a great bond.

We got about 9" last week. Other than that,it snows just enough to screw things up and freak people out,lol. Snow plow wiped out our NEW mailbox last week and they tried to fix it,but they didn't fix it good enough so I have to fix that now.


Getting cabin fever. At least the days are getting longer.

Is that a good repair? Will it eventually crack/break?

Are you going to do it or a company? A company might do a better job. They have an applicator that forms a vacuum tight seal around the chip and they inject the epoxy into it. If it is clean it should. If it is a crack,you're screwed.

Glass company did it. The problem is that the chip is right smack in the driver line of sight.

That's not necessarily true. Do you have an alibi for this morning?
