Diamonds Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Rock chip about the size of a nickel. 1. How much does safelite charge? 2. Who else does it in Columbus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBearFromHell Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 If you have insurance (and I am sure you do as a law abiding citizen) AND if the rock chip is repairable. it will cost you nada...zip...zero. If it is not repairable, then it will cost you your deductible.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Most places charge $50 or just run is through insurance and it's free. Discount Auto Glass is another I know that does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Don't you have to have full coverage to cover the repair? Just curious. Also super glue works, but you would still see the chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good repair ships like safelight won't be able to repair a chop if you try and fill it with crap like this and then you either have to live with it or replace the glass anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Super glue was used on aircraft during ww2, I would trust it to keep a chip from turning into a crack on my windshield. It needs water to make the bond though from what I was reading. Besides this is more of a general suggestion for beaters, not something I would expect someone to use on a car they care about. I posted it in this thread not for the op, but for future reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyBearFromHell Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Don't you have to have full coverage to cover the repair? Just curious. Also super glue works, but you would still see the chip. I think it is covered by your "Comprehensive" coverage which is for anything not covered by "Collision". If you have comprehensive coverage on your auto insurance policy, most insurance companies waive your deductible for windshield chip repairs (State Farm and Mercury Insurance are the two major exceptions). Insurance companies that cover the full cost of chip repairs with comprehensive coverage include: ◾Farmers ◾Geico ◾USAA ◾AAA ◾Allstate ◾Progressive ◾Nationwide ◾Allied ◾21st Century ◾Travelers As for the "superglue solution", if you're tracking the car, you will NOT pass tech inspection for NASA/SCCA/USCA/NHRA etc. They kind of frown on the "duct tape repair solutions".

Diamonds Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Welp, had Safelite come out to my workplace this morning and filled the crack in 20 minutes. Didn't charge me a dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchi Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Did they happen to mention how big a crack could be repaired? I just saw yesterday that I have a hairline crack in the bottom of the windshield but it's about foot and half long. Cant feel it at all on inside or outside of glass when running your fingers over it which is odd and didnt know if that could be repaired or windshield would have to be replaced but havent called any places yet on it as just found it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I can tell you that they asked me if it was a "quarter, credit card, or dollar bill" size. But we stopped at that because I said quarter. Wish I could be of more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 When safelite repaired my windshield, the largest he said they would do is a dollar sized crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
