Window stone chip repair?

Sep 01, 2004 Last reply: 21 years ago 2 Replies

Are there kits available for car owners? I've got a few chips, and I'd like to try it myself.



I tried Googling, but all I got was glass shops' services.



Web refs appreciated, but any info I'd be grateful for.



Thanks,

Yet, you seem perfectly comfortable asking the question even though you obviously haven't stepped away from your computer long enough to call or go to a NAPA, Carquest, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or any other store selling automotive parts and supplies in your area to discover that they are, in all likelihood, an in-stock item.

Google can certainly make one lazy.....and also limit - instead of enhance

- their knowledge of what is happening right in their own back yard.

Get your nose off the computer screen and go to a nearby auto parts store....or, at least call them.

Just becaue the almighty Google doesn't show something, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist....but, you have to be a little more creative in your search.

Forgive me for being slightly off topic here. A few years ago I cracked my windshield at the edge, possibly by using a tool too close to the molding. The crack came out about 3" and was headed for the main viewing area. I called a local glass and detail shop. The young girl there said, "We always tell everybody to tape a penny to it." Well, my car is worth slightly more than a penny so I blocked off a small square area with epoxy around the crack and an inch further. The crack made a U-turn and came back to the edge. Now it just looks like I have a park-pass there rather than an illegal window. It's been good for five years. Be careful with tools around glass. You may be buying a new chip-free window.
