stone chip
i have a stone chip in my windshield
it was there when i got it, but i thought it was just an old crack that they fixed, because it was so small, and it was all but smooth on the outside of the glass, well yesterday in the light i looked at it and it's actually a chip on the outside, and the INSIDE is where the cracks are, it's a small spidercrack, but i don't want it to get bigger, how easy is it to repair the glass, the inside glass, near the bottom edge of the windshield... i don't think that those glass repair things from walmart or whatever will reach that part of the glass....

You're screwed. I had a bolt or something nail my windshield about 4 months ago (maybe 5). It started as a crack about an inch long. I called my insurance, and they said they'd pay for autoglass specialists to 'repair' my windshield. WEll, they 'repaired' it and now the crack is about 13-15" long coming from right behind my rear view mirror and going completely sideways. Luckily, I don't really see it since it's in the 'tinted portion' of the windshield. I'm just going to wait a year or two until I can afford full coverage, and then ahve my insurance company foot the bill.

L from SOA is around 600 and coated ones are 900.
But you can probably have the L as low as 150 from a junkyard. L

If the chip hasn't started to spread to much you should be able to call a windshield repair company (Safelite or something like that) and have them come to your home or business to fix it. You might want to check with your local Subaru dealer about getting it fixed. Alot of dealerships have guys come to there lots to fix chips in windshields. I know we do. It should cost around 40 to fix it but I would get it done now so it doesn't spread any more.

I received a chip in exactly teh same spot as Nomad on my windshield. I took it to a windshield shop in Lancaster. They repaired it, and it is fine... a year later. (Happedn on my way to reading last year.)

Steve and Johnny, I don't think that was needed, IMHO.

I have one of those needle things that firemen use to smash windows. You can borrow it. I am serious too.
