Get a new windshield

doitsidewayz · 08-18-2012, 01:19 PM

Aren't they like $200?

Maybe a bit cheaper at the right places but thats the only way to fix chips in glass. You can't buff them out or anything if thats what your thinking..

No idea where you live but there is a place in Rialto/Bloomington area in Cali that only charged like $150 for a new windshield and weather stripping for my S14. They didn't have any in stock when I showed up but got one there and had it installed within an hour and a half.

Glass is a lot harder then plactic. I say just buy a new one. I got mine done for $125

josh_schul · 08-18-2012, 04:20 PM

Listen to the masses.... most glass refinishing products are a pain and why spend all that time and effort for a less than stellar fix. Replacement is the best option imo.
