Rock Chips on Windshield
I can't believed it...I got hit by rock on my windshield 2X now .Actually many times but 2 made its mark. One is kinda roundish and the other is like an x Do you have rock chips on your windshield? How did you fixed it? Does the over the counter (Autozone, Pepboys) windshield kit actually work. Any advice on how to fixed it or a reputable shop that you can recommend would be apprecaited. I'm in Philadelphia/South Jersey Area. Thank you.

windshield is bound to get replaced sometime, either fix it up so it doesn't spider (mine spidered totally after the guy at carwash was drying off the car) or go to a windshield replacement company such as safelite .

the autozone stuff works pretty good. i left some pretty decent cracks in my girlfriends windshield on her fit when something was "accidentally" thrown at it.. used it as a temporary fix and i pushed pretty hard on it, also went to the carwash on a hot day (when most spidering would occur, hot glass + cold water = cracks) and it held up fine.. the "fix-a-windshield" stuff in a yellow package works better than this other brand i cant remember the name of that came in a blue box.. used both..

Thanks for all your input . I got the windshield kit yesterday - 10 bucks. I put it on and let the UV rays dry it up. It works pretty good as the chip kinda disappear a little bit. I hope for the best that it don't spider like you guys said. I actually put a marker around the area of the rock chip to monitor that its not getting bigger. And yes its less than 0.5 inch, it only about 3mm and the other one is about 7mm. Thanks again

Same here xmaciek82x. That's why I can't believed it. I look at other cars and wonder why they dont have one. It seems like the the tiny rock jumps out of the road as soon as it sees your evo and wanted to hug it - on the windshield . A crisp thump and there is your crack!
