69 door glass chip

[Kenneth G.]

hello all,

i have a small chip in my driver's side door glass that i have no idea how it got there, but it sticks out big time out when the window is up. it is not a very deep or big chip but you can definitely feel it with your finger. i searched the archives and some posters mentioned an eastwood system for glass chips. any more opinions on how this product works? some posters in the archives said you wont be able to completely eliminate the chip with the eastwood and that is ok with me. i would be happy with at least "smooting out" the roughness of the chip so at least it wouldnt be so obvious. also, do some areas have glass companies that do "stone chip work" professionaly as there appears to be none in my area (anyone in ny, nyc area know of any? thanks.............

Hi Kenny -

Eastwood's scratch remover will not do much for you here. It'll take out surface scratches nicely. But chips are a different animal completely. They're a LOT deeper than scratches. The best way I can describe it, the Eastwood kit is a "area" fix, not a "spot" fix.

You'll work your tail off (great exercise!), but in the end, at best, you'll have a notice-able wave in the glass with a chip in it.

Recommendation - replace it.
