Chipped Window!

[mh17]

hi guys,

someone threw a glass bottle from a balcony and it landed on my back corner window and chipped it. went to a panel beater and got quoted like 300 for everything. since im on a tight budget and i cant quite live with the chip, was wondering if i should get some kind of car window sticker to cover it up.

so guys, is the idea a go or no go?

or any suggestions?

if the chip is not bigger than 10c or 20c coin, I think people like O'Brien windscreen and glass repairer can patch it up for less than $100

Give em a call and give it a try... you can find them in yellowpages.

its like small chips everywhere, amounting to the size of a palm so i dont think that would do. thanks anyway

try www.carx.com.au for a nice sticker to cover it until you can afford to replace the glass....

Such bastards. I hope the douchebags who threw the bottles got done for drink driving.

No, I think O'Brien, etc can still fix that.

They put this huge suction thing on the windscreen - I think it's the size of a palm, then pump this liquid glass stuff in and let it set. It just fills up all the defects in the windscreen and you can hardly tell afterwards. Give them a call. Got nothing to lose.

Not sure how much I believe the O'Brien ads, but apparently using cold aircon on a hot day can make small chips fracture into larger ones, so I guess you should get it fixed.
