Hello there, a small stone hit my car’s front windshield on a highway. The resulting chip looks small - almost like a rain drop. Looking at these pictures on WhatsApp, “Windshield experts” person (Hyderabad) told that it cannot be repaired.
I learned that glass chips this small usually improve with resin kit. I am hesitant to DIY.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Hello,
I recently had the front windshield on my vehicle replaced. The shop really did a fantastic job, and to be honest the majority of people *probably* would never notice this, but there are very small/minor urethane adhesive smudges on the car interior pillars. It's been about a week, and I think everything is fully cured at this point, so I plan on taking the pillars out/off over the weekend to attempt to remove these minor "stains".
My question is: What product/method do you all recommend to safely remove these without damaging the plastic?
Thank you in advance.
And which repair kit would you recommend?
so i just did this guys JETTA sedan back-glass and i don’t usually wear short sleeve when doing messy jobs like this but it was hot and felt like staying cool. anyways while i was trimming the old glue the glass kinda shot onto my arms and all the little shards got EVERYWHERE but im noticing on my forearms that i have a rash from something and im assuming its from the little shards of glass getting stuck to my sweaty arms, could i be allergic to the resin in between the panes of glass? (polyvinyl butyral)
I got a new windshield installed at the dealership one week ago. After washing, I saw these small dots, only on one corner. They don't seem to be on the inside or outside of the windshield, and I can't find any way to remove them. Any idea what is going on here and how to get rid of them?
Does anyone know?
I bought a truck recently and had a detailer wash it. He applied Car Brite wheel acid to all of the glass trying to remove water spots and has apparently etched all of it. It looks like orange peel from the outside, and the image from the inside through all of the glass is blurry. You cannot feel it with a fingernail. He's tried a variety of things to fix it with no change so far. I'm trying to avoid having him replace all of it if possible, so I wanted to find out if anyone has successfully repaired this type of damage before, and if so what method was used? Thanks!
I just got a windshield replaced and noticed this. It’s not on the glass- not on the inside nor the outside. It’s some sort of defect in the glass. Anyone ever seen this before? Roughly an inch and a half long. Faint.
What should be best approach to deal with it.
If this is the wrong sub to post this in, I’m sorry, just refer me where I need to post this for advice. I’m looking to seek advice on some trouble I recently had with a windshield replacement company. I recently went to get my windshield replaced (again) due to my brother’s recklessness when he was helping to fix one of my windshield wipers with my father. The technician stated they cannot replace it due to silicone I guess being placed at the bottom of the windshield. I just got this windshield replaced back in January at the same exact location/business. The first time they had no issues. The windshield hasn’t been replaced/touched by anyone else since the first replacement. I have receipts from the first replacement and receipts from anywhere I took the car thereafter (oil change).They deny previously having silicone in the first place. What exactly can I do in this case to prove I did not tamper or place any extra sealent on the windshield after the first replacement? I’m not accustomed to terminology also since I’m not in this industry, though I’m just so angry they think I’m bluffing. I really can’t pay for much more since I’m in graduate school, but they stated a technician from an auto body shop would need to sand down the silicone?
Found the glass as a FB24461 but it’s out of stock everywhere. Found the 24462 and I know It’s the difference with the antenna, can this be interchangeable? I mean only plus is having Antenna connections
Discovered this crack in the upper side door panel. Our thoughts were it had to be stress related, but manufacturer is trying to claim there was impact damage. According to their guidelines, they have to prove its impact in order to deny coverage. Please tell me if I am fighting a losing battle?
First 2 pics are from inside of the car
Car in front of me kicked up a rock on the way home
Customer that we installed a windshield for 2 months ago said the glass is delaminating. Co workers think someone shot something at windshield. Any ideas what this is?
Hello, my dad gave me his old car recently (2008 Corolla) and it runs perfect. He’s always been great at keeping up with the engine aspect but everything else not so much. My windshield has these massive streaks that make it very difficult to drive at night and in bright light and I’ve tried every window cleaner known to man and no results. I’ve done the fingernail test to see if it’s scratches and I didn’t notice any at all. These streaks have likely been accumulating for years. I’m open to any sort of advice on how to get them out or if I just need to replace the windshield entirely. I’ve attached a photo from last night. Thanks everyone!
Is an alignment a must after replaced an new windshield? Do not see it on the receipt. See two pictures attached.
Recently got a cracked windshield and I’m deciding between two local shops. Both have excellent reviews and are within $30 of each other.
PGW — $720 installed
FYG — $750 installed
For those who install auto glass or have experience with both, which would you choose based on glass quality alone?
Mainly concerned with optical clarity/distortion, fitment, durability, and overall quality.
Vehicle is a Tesla Model Y with FSD purchased outright, so that’s a big concern on making the right choice.
Is there any real reason to prefer PGW over FYG or vice versa?
I really like the look of luxury vehicles with the purple windshield but as we know the Chevy sonic does not come with that out of the factory. Is there any way to get a replacement windshield that does have it?
Thank you!
