Windscreen chip




Picked up this chip the other day. On the Autoglass website it says less than 3cm, do nothing. It is in the middle of the screen, but way down the bottom. What do you think ? 2013 SDV8 4.4 SE Luxor.

Quote from a repair company

When determining the size of a windscreen chip, here are the three golden rules:

If a chip is less than 3mm wide, there is no urgency to get it repaired.
Most chips smaller than a £2 coin can be repaired.
Any chips over 25mm are usually unable to be repaired and will result in your windscreen being replaced instead.
To fix a small chip in the windscreen will cost around £40 to £50 in the UK, although if you need the windscreen completely replaced, you’ll be looking at a price of between £200 to £250.

I had a similar one last year. Rang autoglass, they sorted it with the insurance company. Excellent job, couldnt even see it after the repair. Kev

I had similar and just popped it to Halfords. The repair took about 15 minutes and was invisible.

Get it sorted asap, the crack is included in the size of the “chip” so that’s quite a big one, and could even be borderline unrepairable. Also cracks can “grow” with heating/cooling and vibration.

I’d do it immediately. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
