Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

got a nice chip on the freeway the other day- any contacts recommended? Or should I dial neirb’o?

POST 2Original post

If you have glass cover on insurance ($50 no brainer on all my cars) the fix is free. I'd suggest O'briens. I have used them and the end result is a small dot that is vitally invisible. As long as it is not on the drivers side all good, otherwise new windscreen is the only remedy, but if you have the glass option also free.

POST 3Original post

if you have insurance go to Porsche and get a factory screen fitted - get an entire new screen; make sure that chip "spreads".....

POST 4Original post

If the chip is fresh, and you intend to get it repaired, do not wipe or wash the area. Cover the chip with clear sticky tape before it gets any contaminants in the crack. If you want a do it yourself repair, kits are available from most auto parts stores for around $35. I have had good results with these and some not so good because I didn't / couldn't cover the chip before getting to the repair.
