    Another good reason to get glass fixed quick is that insurers will often completely waive your glass deductible if you bring it in before the impact point spreads beyond the size of a $.50 piece.

    Or if you don't have windshield coverage & you get a rock chip, most auto parts stores sell a repair kit for about $10. The kits are VERY easy to use.

    Basically it's just an ultra clear, UV cured epoxy with special tool to pull a vacuum & allow the epoxy to flow down into the crack.

    It only takes about 30 minutes to complete (& most of that time is just sitting around waiting on the epoxy to flow or cure so you can be doing other stuff).

    I've got 4 repaired chips in the windshield of my Eclipse. I did 3 of the repairs & had one professionally done for about $50. All 4 have held up for 3+ years. IMHO, the repairs I did look as good or better compared to the professional job.

    Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
