Hello, My windscreen has what seems to be tiny chips all over it. It almost looks like someone has sprayed the car with glitter paint or something.

I have tried most cleaning things to see if that would help but nothing, i have tried a blade to see if it is paint but nothing comes off. Some one mentioned that maybe someone has been grinding new my car and the sparks have do the damage. I dont know!

Is there a way (apart from smashing it and getting a new one on insurance, Cause I dont have windscreen cover) to try and sort this out. Can you sand glass with a fine paper far enough down to get rid of these shinny chips?

It's quite hard to see out of when the sun is on it.

Failing all attempts where can I get a new windscreen from?

Thanks Claire

You are looking at a new screen as i,ve seen this damage before. Try phoning around the different windscreen companies for a price as it varies quite a lot.

Can't you get it added to your policy, Mine was covered i run auto glass saying that i would like a new screen as visibility isn't great when sun is out, There replaced it for £50

shane: just be a BIT careful here. What you seem to be suggesting on a public forum is fraud, pure and simple.

Claire: how old is the car? TBH, it's due to tiny stone chips over a long period. Mine had the same, I put up with it for a while, then it DID get a chip that couldn't be mended, and had a new screen. THAT was a joke as four weeks later it had to be re-done as water was p!ssing in and all the passenger side carpets were soaked

I'm worried about leaks if I get it done, but it is really hard to see through when the sun is out tho! They are tiny tiny chips, like glitter!

if you cant see through it pal get the bloody thing out asap,., i got one from a local breakers i got the fitter to remove it from the breakers car and fit it in mine for £30 and the screen only cost £20 from the breakers so it can be done cheap but for the love of god get it done before somthing happens you will regret,
