I got just a little too close to a dirt hauler and now have pits in the windshield. It looked like just the normal dust /dirt blowing out but there were rocks lurking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Tried to get a pic, but all the glare on the windshield keep the pits from being visible. About a dozen spots 1MM across and .25 MM deep. They're just deep enough to feel when you run your finger across them. To keep the window from cracking someday, has anyone tried superglue or something clear like that to fill in the holes? Or am I just holed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) |

Your FLAPS will have a windshield repair kit (Permatex?) that has all the materials. I used it on my 993 with success, but had it fail on a Honda and Acura... I think it really depends on the crack, the windshield and how well you apply it.
For the money, you might try taking it to a windshield repair person and get their .02 as well... |

Hi bandjoey! Ah yes, those of us with low cars have that to look forward to all the time. The last time I talked to my glass guy I wound up replacing it with a PPG piece. They only fix rock chips in my experience but talking from one DIY guy to another, I'd give it a try. That's a lot of polishing but maybe it's worth a shot. I'm not tooled-up for it.
Some of these glass gurus here may have a magic solution though! I'm a metal/electrical/stone kind-o-dude. The latter of which is of dubious value here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |
