Very small chip on windscreen, need to fix?

Hi guy

I think a truck went past me today and stone flew up and hit the windscreen. Hardly noticable but spotted it when washing my car later and thought it was dirt i couldnt get off but its actually a very very tiny chip. If you took a pen to paper and put a dot, pretty much that size.

Do you think i need to get that fixed/cured or something??

That is very small and not really large enough to worry about. Although, I would get it fixed as the repair here in the US is free. With extreme climate change even the smallest chip can grow.

Another name for windshield outside of the states.

I agree. As soon as you turn on the defroster in colder weather there is a chance that it will spread. Take it to a place like Novus and they will fix it
and normally the insurance company will waive the deductable.
