Last year got another, low on the drivers side.
Took it to the same shop, but with a different tech.
That repair is not as good and some of the starring is still visible.
Not going to buy new glass though. Until I have to.

With the sun so low all day now, I had to do a thorough windshield clean inside and out.
Realized there are a whole lot of tiny little dings from sand size particles all over now and can be a bit dazzling in the wrong light.

Yeah, the main reason I'm still considering just getting it filled rather than replacing is because I kind of have to expect I'll get more chips down the years and I don't want to go out and get a new windshield every time. Might just get it filled and wait a while, see what happens, then if it does spread or I get more chips later on go ahead and replace.
