If you're driving quickly enough down the streets of Bradenton, FL, the tiniest flying pebble can put a major chip in your windshield. What now? The next steps are simpler than you think. Our Sunset Cadillac of Bradenton service techs have the details.

Windshield chips come in many different shapes and sizes. Regardless of shape or size, there are certain facts to bear in mind. Three or fewer windshield chips measuring under 6 inches are fixable. Anything beyond these values may present some problems. Whether you have your windshield serviced or go the DIY route, bear the following tip in mind. Until repair, cover your windshield chips with tough, transparent packing tape to keep debris and moisture out of the chip.

The application of epoxy resin to the chip seems to be most popular these days. The resin fills in the chip and makes it smooth. It restores your windshield's overall integrity, giving you a clear, unobstructed view of the road again.
