    Chipped...but in a bad way.

    I just finished washing my car to find the tiniest chip on the windscreen....
    Needless to say, im pissed off.
    Its about a foot in from the drivers side mirror and half a foot from the base of the windscreen....
    Now... with my wonderful luck... this has happened when Im scheduled to get my car tinted TOMORROW.
    So my question, if any1 has an answer, is will it make a difference with the tinting? or should I cancel?

    (Just b4 the tinting place gives me the "she'll be right, mate" speech)

    Thanks Guys.

    No, it shouldn't be a drama, cos the windows are tinted from the inside, so it won't show. If the chip is on the inside, this will show up in the tint.

    x2 LOL. So it dosent matter if the windscreen is chipped. Even if you want to tint the top 10cm of windscreen the chip is too low to cause any drama.

    depending on how bad (you think) it is there are places that can repair these things. If it ever starts to get worse get someone to look at it ASAP....

    or check your insurance, let it go to hell then claim the free windscreen replacement that many policies have
