First Aid for Auto Glass

Almost everyone will get some kind of chip in their car windows at some time. So, what can you do about it? Do not ignore it. A chip can be repaired for less than $100, most insurances will pay for it, and waive the deductible. If sealed soon enough, it will not crack out. A "cheap window replacement is often $250 -$750. If you notice a chip, do not wash the window, or use wiper fluid, etc. You do not want water to get into it, or dust and debris. Use a piece of heavy duty clear packing tape to put over it until you get a repair person to fix it. It will keep it clean so you get a better repair. It will not stop it from spreading, so act quickly. Many chip repair people are mobile and will come to you. I have been learning stuff this week, so I thought I would share it with you.
