To fix a rock chip in the windshield, buy a windshield repair kit and patch it.
A small chip can grow larger over time, so it’s wise to patch it now. Note that any chip larger than three inches should be repaired by a professional.
The repair kit will cost you about $20, and inside you will find a patch, a plastic pedestal, epoxy resin, and a syringe.
Start by cleaning the area around the chip to ensure strong adhesion. Then, apply the patch and pedestal and inject the epoxy resin. Once it has cured, you can remove the pedestal, clean off the excess product, and drive away!
Some people also like to keep a sheet of circular vinyl stickers, which can easily be applied to stop small windshield cracks from growing with no syringe-work required.
