Windscreen chips are not only unsightly, they can also impair vision.  These chips often create tiny holes where water can enter the glass substrate.  If the water freezes on a cold day, the water will expand and will either make the chip worse, or crack the windscreen, putting it beyond repair.

Temperature fluctuations can also result in a chip that is repairable leading to the replacement of a windscreen if not tended to.  It is advisable to cover all chips with a piece of selo-tape to prevent dirt and moisture entering the crevice.

Benefits

• A crack where the run on the windscreen is less than 100 mm in length is considered repairable.
• A chip with a diameter less than 16mm or a 10c coin is considered repairable.

Exclusions

• Any cracks or chips that exceed the specifications indicated above.
