Hello there fellow Corsa friends.

I'm after a little bit of help from someone who has experience of windscreen chips. I have a chip on my windscreen, but I can't remember whether it's been previously fixed (I've had a few over the years). See the below link to a photograph of the chip.

I don't want to arrange a repair and then look like a numpty if they say it's already fixed.

Can anyone please advise?

Thanking you

I think if it's been fixed before there will be a clear resin in the chip making it pretty smooth, if not you will be able to feel the chip.

Well if thats been fixed before i'd want it redone

Why?

Why?

That would annoy the shit out of my whilst inside it, assuming it will look the same from the inside

When they repair a windscreen, it's only to cover the crack up to stop it getting worse with a type of resin.

You can't unbreak glass and reset it to the way it was before.

Thanks for looking guys.

The chip is only about 2-3mm in diameter. It's not in the drivers line of sight so it's not that bad... just worried if I leave it, it may get worse.

When I run my finger over it, it doesn't feel smooth... the grey bit around the centre circle is indented.

When autoglass repair the glass, do they drill into the glass? The centre circle looks man-made to me?!

Looks to me like its been repaired in the past, but it may have been hit again? Those small cracks either side coming from it concern me a little. Autoglass will look at it for free and tell you if it needs attention or not. Just take it and ask, thats what I did with mine and they said it was fine.

I have a stone chip in my Windscreen, looks the same size, it had already been repaired once and has been repaired since, after the second repair the chip didn't disappear due to dirt in the chip, plus the resin they use can shrink and expand in extreme weather so it may look like it's still chipped
