 Screen repair, top job - Runfer D'Hills
Picked up a stone chip in the windscreen of the Merc last week. Right slap bang in front of my eyeline on the driver's side.

There has been another one down low on the passenger side of the screen for more than a year but it hadn't spread thankfully.

Called the insurers and they were happy for Autoglass to fix them both. Because it's a company car and the company is VAT registered there was a small fee of just short of £10 to cover the tax but otherwise it was covered.

Very efficient guy came this afternoon to do the repair and the result is perfect. Interesting kit he was using. Some kind of suction thing creates a vacuum which sucks the repair resin into the damaged area.

Whole process was about half an hour and I really can't see any sign of the damage.

Top job and presumably a whole lot cheaper than a new screen.
