I have an EXTREMELY SMALL rock chip on my car windshield. It doesn’t go through the entire sheet of glass (by this I mean that the outside of my windshield is chipped but the chip did not reach the inside of the car). Will this grow? It doesn’t look like it is the kind that is going to start cracking, but I was wondering if anyone else could tell me otherwise. Also, do the repair kits you buy at auto stores for like 15 bucks work?

get it repaired now by a glass co. before it spreads, call your insurance co. if you have glass coverage and they will send a glass co. out to your house and fix it free of charge and if you don’t like the repair they will replace the complete windshield for your deductible, usually $100.

my winshield seal is loose on the corners and is flapping around in the wind…..does anyone know about how much this will cost? i plan on taking it down to the auto glass repair place but its closed because its sunday night and i plan on doing it tomorrow just i want to know about how much this is gonna cost….thanks in advance

I know someone who had a crack on his that got bigger with time. It cost him $240.00 to have it replaced. That includes the work they did.

I had a chip filled by Auto-glass a while back, but what with all this snow and ice, my chip turned into a crack. Is there any chance that they will repair this for free or discounted because they supposedly ‘fixed’ it previously. I also paid for it to be filled by them back then. Thank you.

check and see if they offered you any warrenty,,,,,,

if I repaired a CHIP ,, I would not warrent it any farther than the next start of the engine,,,,,,

good luck

I need help. I have scratched my windshield with green sponge. I have bought janvil product and tried to buff out myself and made it worse. LOL. Now I have green sponge scratch and scratch from buffing. I can not feel scratch with my finger nail. I tried about 4 stores and they say they don’t know. Where should I try? I have contacted lots of Auto Glass Repair shop and they said They can fix chips but not scratch. My final decision will be replacing cheapest out there was $320 for BMW. I live in georgia if anyone know any store local I will be very happy. Thank you,

I was just looking at the Janvil Website. It looks like they do not recommend trying to polish scratches made with green kitchen sponges.

From Janvil site "Scratches caused by the infamous green kitchen scrub sponge can be quite nasty. The fibers in these sponges can "bite" right into the glass surface and cause major scratching. There has been so much damaged caused by these over the years that the sponge manufactures have began to put a warning on the packages that states to never to use them on glass, plastic or aquariums. The damage caused by these kitchen sponges can be very severe since you can easily destroy the outer surface of the glass. This is not typical glass damage and it will take a bit of time repair."

I guess my first question would be why did you use a green sponge pad on your windshield in the first place? What were you trying to get off the glass? I remember when the green scotch brite pads were only sold as sand paper for finishing metals. They used to do a great job on aluminum parts for aircrafts. If you scrub a lot on the glass with them, it probably would not mater what polish you use, the glass would be toast.

I used the Janvil glass stuff on some windows in my house 3 years ago after a painter screwed it up. The Janvil worked great. You have to be sure to use the right cloth to polish with and spend a little time with it.

What part of Georgia are you from? My cousin runs a body shop in GA near the FL border. Is that close to you? Maybe he can help with the glass. He is pretty reasonable at pricing and does a good job..
