Just picked up another graze on the windscreen (courtesy of the Local Authority road 'upgrading'), and started to ponder.
a) Being very old, I do not remember windscreens suffering so much damage thirty or forty years ago. For the old timers - were the screens better at resisting this sort of damage then, or do you think it is just a more testing driving regime nowadays?
b) We must all have seen the ads which promote windscreen repairs, but I know of no-one who has had screen chips repaired. Everyone in my experience, who has approached a windscreen company has been given a 'reason' why the screen will have to be replaced. Does anyone know of, or themselves had, a screen chip repaired?
I await the experience of the forum with interest.
