I got a stone chip in the windscreen today, from a stone flicked off of truck on the Bolte Bridge. Bugger. I'm sure a replacement windscreen is going to be very exy - does anyone have experience with chip repairs?

upgrade your insurance to include 1 free screen per year. and then claim it in a few months time :D

Yeah, one of the first things that happened to me after getting the Jetta. :mad:

Had mine fixed by Novus and it was quite satisfactory. The repair is not totally invisible but it is virtually unnoticeable.

Thanks all! I was hoping to get a repair rather than a replacement, so that name would be much appreciated!

Chip is now repaired. No point photographing, coz you cant see it!!

Great job, great service, $66. and the advice is, if you have a stone chip and want to get it repaired, do it straight away, coz any grime that gets into the cracks make the repair less successful.
