    Chipped windscreen

    I got a stone chip in the windscreen today, from a stone flicked off of truck on the Bolte Bridge. Bugger. I'm sure a replacement windscreen is going to be very exy - does anyone have experience with chip repairs?

    Yeah, one of the first things that happened to me after getting the Jetta.

    Had mine fixed by Novus and it was quite satisfactory. The repair is not totally invisible but it is virtually unnoticeable.

    Cheers

    Thanks all! I was hoping to get a repair rather than a replacement, so that name would be much appreciated!

    All Done!

    Chip is now repaired. No point photographing, coz you cant see it!!

    Great job, great service, $66. and the advice is, if you have a stone chip and want to get it repaired, do it straight away, coz any grime that gets into the cracks make the repair less successful.
