UNABASHED Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 While giving me car a little wash last night I noticed that there is a chip about 1/2 centimetre long on the drivers side but not sure if that is big enough for it to be treated? Exactly how big does a chip/crack need to be on your windscreen for autoglass type company to come repair it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 They will generally repait anything under the size of a pound coin. If its in your line of sight its an mot fail. About the size of a bottle top maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 Took car in this morning for repair of a chip just slightly bigger than a match head. After an hour they have managed to make the little bit completely dissapear, unfortunatley it's dissapreared as it is now covered up by a 18inch crack! Now I have the pleasure of having my whole windscreen replaced - I should have just left it well alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look on the bright side ... at least you'll get a bright shiny new screen for £70.00 .... it's the biggest upgrade I've had this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Being a fellow member of the retards club I did a silly thing the winter before last.... I had a chip in my windscreen and it was a frosty freezing cold morning and I was being lazy I boiled the kettle, poured the boiling water on my windscreen and made my way to work ..... Then... In Slow motion the chip turned into a crack and the crack went from the passenger side right away across to the drivers side, it looked like lightning moving slowly before my eyes.... What a tool I am Wont do that again in a hurry I tell ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
