Re: Small windshield chip
Another option to consider is contacting your insurance company and report the ding. So long as it isn't larger than a $1 bill and isn't in your direct line of sight, they will typically dispatch a repair contractor, free of charge.
I have Geico and have done this twice. Rates did not increase and the company is very friendly with setting up the appointment, getting the details, etc. Your insurance company and experience may vary.
Both repairs were done by SafeLite and outlasted the windshield. It developed a fatal crack a couple years after the last patch and had to be replaced. The crack was not caused by the initial dings. It was caused by a rock kicked up by a dump truck. |

I was gonna say, I'm in MD and we've got that here. Glad they caught their mistake. You will have to sign a waiver from Safe Lite or whoever does the work that there's the chance the windshield could crack. If it does, you will be liable for the comprehensive deductible to replace the windshield. Just don't be spooked when they bring it up. |
