windshield repair
Has anyone had safelite repair their windshield? Ours got a half dollar size rock crack, and Geico is paying them to repair it. just wondering what to expect, Is it going look like a dead bug on the windshield??

- If it starts to spread, replace the windshield. Glass will just keep cracking. Take it from any truckdriver who's been there.
- Depends on the type of chip or crack. We had an "eyebrow" crack in our windshield and Safelite repaired it, did a great job, but you could still see the crack on the edges. The repair lasted about 2 years and started creeping. We then had the windshield replaced. Insurance (Florida) covered both repair and replacement.
- Was on my way back to Kentucky from Florida, I heard it hit but didn't see the place till I cleaned the windshield. So many bugs couldn't see it. Will know tomorrow, that's when he comes to repair it. All washed up and back in the garage now. Will let you know the outcome, just hope its not something to draw my attention, to bug me every time I drive it.
- If anyone has a 'hit' on the windshield, immediately pull over (safely) and cover the rock hit with tape. You don't want dirt getting in there as that will make the repair more noticeable.
I just had a rock repair done and the only thing I see is the small chip in the windshield where it hit (passenger side near the bottom). The small cracks (2) were completely erased.
Good luck and safe travels,
MM. - No, it should be invisible.
