    If there is a chip in the windshield, and it is repaired using the resin fill method, does it take some time to "heal" or cure?

    I had a chip filled, and can still see some of the original chip. This is the first I've had done, so I'm not familiar with the process.

    They don't completely disappear.

    Got a pic?

    It will never be perfect. The big thing is to fill it in most of the way and prevent it from spreading to a crack

    I got one within the first week of buying my 2012. Right about eye-level, and about the diameter of a pencil. The insurance company would only go for filling the chip, so while it was strong, it was annoying as hell. It never spread though.
