Consumer Description

A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD ON 7/17/15 SHOWING A TINY CHIP AND 2-3 MM CRACK. WE HAD THE CHIP REPAIRED BY SAFELIGHT EARLY MORNING OF 7/18/15 AND IT LOOKED GOOD. THE NEXT DAY, 7/19/15, THERE WERE 2 CRACKS OVER 6 INCHES LONG AND THE WINDOW WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. WOULD HAVE CHALKED IT UP TO JUST BAD LUCK TO HAVE THE REPAIR FAIL UNTIL I CAME ACROSS REPORTS OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON THE INTERNET AND THEN CAME ACROSS THIS SITE.
