small knick in car windshield?

Question

can it be stoped byapplying a woman's hard nail polish to the knick if how do you apply. do apply it than wipe it off with a cloth or what do you do?

Answer 1

Had this happen (impossible to avoid, where I presently reside) - called a 'pro' to fix the nick - and had him look at my other vehicle, which I bought used, and it had a nick that someone had repaired, the way you are asking (nail polish) . . .
Long story short -
The pro told me that the 'repaired' glass on my second vehicle could not now be 'fixed' (by him), and I could expect further cracking and deterioration. . . which has happened, as he predicted.
The window that he did repair, has not had any further damage occur - and it was well worth the $39 I paid - considering the $250 I will now have to pay, to replace the 'nail polish' repair job that someone else did, on my used car!!!

Answer 2

It depends if it's chip or knick. A chip usually goes through the windshield and will spread. a knick is just a small piece that came off the outside of the windshield and usually does spread. You can apply an acrylic based clear nail polish, but make sure you fill the gap or it will spread and make sure to surround the chip completely.

Answer 3

I'd get it fixed professionally, as it could present a serious safety hazard in the future.

Imagine it; cold, dark, rainy night, the crack spreads, the whole windshield goes, you lose control and kill someone.

I got mine done, cost 60 GBP (I'm in UK). Worth it for peace of mind. Your insurance may even cover it.
