Washed my car today, when i was doing the screen i noticed lots and lots of really tiny imperfections on the glass. They look like millions of really tiny stone chips if you know what i mean? I have used AG glass polish and fast glass but the are still there. Do you think the icy conditions lately have damaged the surface of the glass??

Maybe they look like stone chips because they are? AG glass polish and fast glass are just cleaners so if they are little chips they wont do anything.

use something to make a bigger crack in the windscreen ( make it look like a big stone chip if pos) and give autoglass a ring, its free

Its not. It depends on your insurance. They dont just hand out free windcreens.

Usually charge you for a windscreen replacment.

Mine was £40

1) law abiding people
2) people who work hard to pay for such insurance
3) people who have to pay high premiums due to the selfishness of others

I have changed the windscreen once due to a crack.
I also seem to get hit by stones on a daily basis when travelling the M4 so have many small spots - not much you can do about it

I have used this with good results on windscreens on old cars



Have to be careful to allow the screen to cool down regularly or the heat from prolonged use of the drill will cause it to crack

Right, had a good look today my windscreen is covered in millions of tiny tiny chips. Cant be down to stones themselves because there is far to many and to small plus the car is only 6 months old. I do believe its down to extreme cold weather thats damaged the screen. Will be taking it to the dealers for them to tell me there nothing wrong lol

What do you expect a dealer to do about it? Hardly there fault is it.
