I got a rock chip in my windshield!!!

I've had my Z 15 months now, and have had 3 rock chips repaired over that time. I've been told if it's repaired immediately, chances are good it won't spread.

Much less expensive as well.

After repair, can you tell from inside the car or outside? Mine is on passenger side. If my passenger can see it from inside, I don't think I'll be happy. Do you have pics? please post them by tonight as my appt is tomm (thurs) morn!

REPLACE!!! I had a chip just about in my line of site repaired and even though it was a decent repair, I could see it and started fixating on it. After about a month I just had the insurance company replace the windshield. My insurance co. did both the repairs and replacement with no questions asked. I have never heard of a co. that would limit the number of repairs. In Arizona we are ALWAYS getting chips and cracks. I would talk to my ins. co. or consider kickin' em' to the curb.
