Obviously everyone wants to know the age old question-whether to just fix the problem area or replace the entire windshield. That really depends on how soon you get it taken care of. Generally, chips that are 3 inches wide or less do not mandate an entire windshield replacement, and the problem can generally be brought under control with a simple fix.
