Deal with it before it spreads. A small repairable chip can become a crack after a temperature change, pothole or another impact.
Where the chip sits matters
Damage close to the edge or in the driver's critical view can be more serious. A repairer can tell you whether repair is suitable.
Modern screens can contain technology
Cameras and sensors may need calibration after replacement. That makes some windscreens much more expensive than they appear.
Check the policy before booking
Many comprehensive policies have separate windscreen arrangements and excesses. Use the approved process where your policy says it.
A separate windscreen excess can make a large difference to what you pay. It is worth checking when comparing policies, not just after the glass cracks.
