DIY windscreen chip repair

[PhysDoc]

Has anyone used any of the windscreen DIY chip repair kits? Are they actually any use, or all just c***?

Got a small chip on my windscreen, and a guy in Tesco's car park the other day said he could fix it, but he was charging 50 notes! My insurance won't cover chip repairs.

Does your insurance cover full screen replacement?

Hi,

Yes it does; considered just leaving it, and if it cracks it cracks and I'll claim. My no claims bonus is not protected though, and I can't find anywhere in my documentation that says my no claims wouldn't be affected.

I'd leave it. In all the years and all the cars I've had with chips in the screen none of them have ever cracked. In my experience if it hasn't cracked already it probably won't. If it does worry about it then.

Overall, yes.
