If you have a rock chip in your windshield and you have car insurance you may not need to stress! These days, most car insurance companies provide rock chip repair as opposed to replacing the entire windshield. This type of repair involves injecting a special resin into the damaged area using a tool that attaches directly to it and then the resin is polished to restore it. This can help prevent the chip from cracking and spreading to other areas. The repairs are not always completely translucent, but the window will still be very durable.
Will I have to pay a deductible to get my windshield fixed?
The location of the chip will determine whether your windshield can be repaired. Keep in mind that in most cases, car insurance companies will waive the deductible and pay for the entire repair. However, some companies don’t offer this benefit so you might want to consider this when your car insurance shopping. Rock chip repairs can cost anywhere from $50-100!
