Rock On!

I was riding along, with a rock chip in my windshield, when I saw a sign that said "Free Windshield Repair". A guy had a mobile unit set up under a canopy at a full-service car wash. I had seen that sign before, but didn't have time to stop. This time I decided to check it out. It turns out, it's not exactly free, but not a bad deal. The guy took my insurance information and called my insurance company for an authorization. He said they normally waive the deductible on a windshield repair because it's much cheaper than replacing the whole windshield. Sure enough, they did. It was interesting to watch as he injected some stuff into the chip. In about 15 minutes, my windshield was repaired and I was on my way. Some places claim they can repair a crack up to 24 inches long.

As I looked online, I saw an article (link below) that said you can go to a glass repair shop and get this fixed for around $25. Hmmm. It also said you can buy a repair kit at the auto store and do it yourself for around $10. I didn't know that! I haven't done this myself, but I think it sure would be worth a try. The instructions are in the article on this website:

Note to self: Don't follow too closely behind big trucks. And ROCK ON!
