Upset :-(

[Girlypink]

had a stone thrown up from a wheel on a lorry today and on my lovely new car's one month birthday, it's has created a massive L shape crack from the bullseye. It's right at the top of the screen and has chipped the roof too slightly. What should I do about the chip? I've only ever used chipsaway local company rep on previous cars and they did an excellent job. But should I use the dealer I got it from?

Beyond gutted and just want it fixed now :-( waiting for call back re date for screen - and remembered to mention the acoustic screen that I saw on here somewhere the other week!

Gutted

Check with your insurance provider if you have any sort of windscreen cover. Failing that, give any local reputable windscreen company a call. They should be able to advise you if the crack can be filled or whether you'll need a replacement screen.

Sorry, I meant the paint work chip. Sorted new screen out through insurance but not going to claim for the paintwork but not sure how best to get the paintwork fixed?

If you can post a good pic of it, I'm sure Andy or others can advise on the best course of action.

Needs to be looked at ASAP. Please post up a pic GP.

I'll try to get one later. I'm not overly short at 5ft 6 but it's right slap in the middle and I can't reach high enough to get a decent angle lol! Will dig out a stool later and get a pic.

Right, step ladder has been out and I've got some pics. How am I best to show them to you all or some of you, without losing picture quality through tapatalk?

Have I stumbled into a medical forum?

Ouch! but that chip in the pink can be fixed with a touch up kit. Andy has a guide on how best to apply it, which I am sure he will shortly post

[Clean Your Ride]

Awful set of pictures but as Soran has stated a link to effectively touching up can be found here. Just apply, dry, apply dry. Keep building up the layers, slowly but surely

If you're not confident then look at Auto Restore where you can email them a picture of the damage for a quote of repair and they come to you to fix.

Looks like a hard area to reach too.

Thanks Andy, as always! PMK that is my worry as I had to precariously balance on a step ladder to get to this. I'll have to see if I can get hold of the touch up and have a go and if no good then contact some people.
