katzjamr Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I have a small qouge from the point of a rock that has made about an 1/8th inch chip in the windshield. It is not a star or crack at this point, just a very shallow divot as if an ice pick were used on the window. Should i just have it repaired like any other glass or is there something else i need to know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 They probably wont be able to do much about that other than replace the glass. Its the same as it would be on any other vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patt Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I don't know if it makes any difference to filling a chip, but the RX400H glass is suppose to be some kind of sound deadening glass. If a problem got severe enough to warrant replacement of the windshield, one would want to get the same kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katzjamr Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 This chip is less than one eight of an inch wide and so shallow i thot it was dirt at first, my first instinct is to try a Novus or crack repair type of service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 All Lexus made after 1998 use a double thick sound deadening windshield. I'd always request OEM glass. Doesnt sound like this is worth replacing and its just gonna happen again, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used these on my ES300 and the RX330. I have fixed bullet type stars and the type you describe. Do it quickly before dirt and moisture get in there.

RX400h Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Most insurance companies will have this type of windshield damage fixed for free - no deductible at all. The glass repair people come to you, whether you're at home or at the office. They did an excellent job with my Mazda windshield's chip.
