If you are thinking of selling your home, there are a number of things you can do to improve the "showability" of your home. But first, let's look at your home through the eyes of the buyer.

It takes 30 minutes or less for a glass company to repair a chip. Chip repairs are much quicker than windshields replacement. You can choose a reputable shop, drive in, and have the chip front window repair on your way to work without even scheduling an appointment. If you are saying you do not have time to have the repair done, it really is not a relevant excuse.
 

The mechanic had been overly optimistic about how little time it would take. Actually the procedure required more than 20 minutes. The repair must be done carefully because a sloppy job can cause the glass to crack. The repairer should clean the surface thoroughly and wear gloves to keep skin oil off the glass. If you do not see this happening, complain and ask to have it done properly. Then primer and resin must be applied and all air must be sucked out of the blemish.

Check for irregularities. If you're at the front window repair or rear of the car, look along the car to see if there are small dents. These can be seen as distortions in the reflection. If the paint is not smooth in one place, then this could be a place where there has been some damage. Dents as large as a coin can be restored by a panel beater. Dents that are not thoroughly repaired are often filled with polyester resin or fibreglass paste. Tap the surface, or go along it with a magnet. Know whether the panel is made of steel, not plastic, fibreglass or aluminum. If there are places where the magnet will not adhere, then in all likelihood, the panel has been repaired. Ask the owner why the part has been repainted?

Techniques are horizontal, vertical or pyramid merchandising. Live merchandising means to set up windshield chip repair a scene or picture like in real life. For example, a fully decorated Christmas table, if you sell home ware and kitchen products. Hero merchandising means focussing on one single product in your window display.

Be sure to get the vehicle identification number (better known as the VIN number). On most modern vehicles the VIN number is located on the drivers side dashboard and is visible by looking through the front window, drivers side. If it looks tampered with in any way then run the other direction!

Most auto glass companies offer a lifetime warranty which proves that the process is reliable and can be trusted to keep you from having to replace the entire windshield.
