As a general rule, you will not be able to get a crack front window repair if it is more than 6 inches long. If your problem is a chip instead of a crack, the chip should not be larger than a quarter. Keep in mind that these rules are not hard and fast, always check with a local professional.
If the whole was car repainted, is could be revealed in the engine compartment. Are the body parts spotless but is the car a couple of years old? Or do the body parts shine much more than under the hood or in the boot? Then the car probably has had a new coat of paint.
Now open the windshield windshield chip repair kit, it contains an adhesive disc. Place it in the middle of the chip and the disc's tab must be pointing towards you. The pedestal from the kit has to be placed on the tab.
Check with your insurance, because it's likely your insurance will pay for some forms of windshield chip repair. They may even waive the deductible, since repairing your windshield is so much cheaper than replacing a windshield. Should you need total windshield replacement, you may have to pay a deductible with your insurance.
If your home is a single story and has a tiled roof, I suggest a closer inspection to observe its condition. It's always a great idea to replace any broken or chipped tiles and clean all sections visible from the road with either a high-pressure washer or compressed air. Due to height and safety, this is probably a job for your hubby, boyfriend or handyman, unless of course you feel the need to flex your equal opportunity muscle. Having your roof professionally restored may prove exorbitant, however it's worth considering depending on existing roof condition and expected returns.
These are simple tasks and will not take a lot of time. If you do not have any time to spare, you must get professional help as early as possible. Remember your house will not look well maintained if you have slats hanging all over the place or if the mechanism is not working.
