I noticed whilst cleaning my car yesterday that there are a couple of very small chips in the windscreen
Is there a product available to sort them out...please help I don't want them to get any worse :0. They are only very tiny chips but I've never had this problem before

HEEEEELP!!

Apparently if you contact your insurance company (depending on your policy) they should be able to give you a reference number for places like Autoglass.

Take this to your nearest Autoglass dealer and they will attempt to fix your screen FOC

If it is too damaged to fix you can get a new one for £50 through your insurance which will not affect your NCD

(I have too HUGE cracks so will be doing this soon)

My windscreen has two tiny chips and with its first MOT approaching, I'll need to get these fixed. I understand that small chips can be repaired (Autoglass does this amongst others). What I'm not sure about is, do these repairs affect your no claims bonus? If so I'd rather pay myself.

Windscreen chips only affect MOTs if they lie within a certain defined area.

I had a windscreen replaced recently after I checked with my insurance company first and it doesn't affect your no claims.
