chipped windscreen repairs...

  Top of Page

i bought a brand new windscreen a month ago after molesting my last one with a ratchet, sure enough i get a stone chip on friday night.

rang up obrien (where i got it) they want $120 for a repair!!!! anyone fixed their own before what products have you used? the chip is roughly the size of a 5c piece...

thanks!

out of curiosity what was the new one worth?

also if your with RACV (or NSW equivalent) try them you get 10% discount as a member

as far as i know you cant fix it yourself they use some sorta vacuum pump thing and some clear epoxy like resin then buff it all smooth

I used a permatex kit a few years ago, worked ok. Wasnt a chip as such though, was a star. Dont know how you would go filling a big chip with a DIY kit.

might be 120bucks but Obriens are great at what they do, it may be worth the money to get it done professionally and not have the crack reappear again later

fark'n'ell.

such a drama that requires three threads on three different forums to fix?

Go to O'Briens.

Pay $120.

Fix Windshield.

Profit.

Play lotto/lawn bowls/bingo/dying grey hairs.

end.
