Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago while driving something bumped into the front windscreen of our Model 3 and created a chip. It's not big, less than the size of a 20-cent coin, and might be a 10-cent coin. I brought it to O'Brien Autoglass. They said they need to open the chip a bit in order to repair it. They were frank about the possibility of it cracking, which will make it unrepairable and needs to be replaced.
As fate has it, it did crack. The photo above is the after, and the photo below is the before. As you can see, there are some long spikes from the attempted repair.
I'm wondering what I should do. Should I go to my insurance company (AAMI) and get it fixed now? Or should I wait and see how it develops and get it fixed towards the end of this insurance policy (another 10 months to go)?
With my infinite wisdom, I did buy the windsceen cover when I bought the policy. I wonder whether this repair comes at no excess because of that.
What do you think? Cheers!
