Default Warranty on glass??

i've had my 2010 TSX for less than 2 weeks

already i notice a slight imperfection on the driver side window. looks like a small pebble hit it, so there's a tiny chip, but no crack/spider-webbing. it's as small as a couple specs of dust put together

think the dealership can do anything about it? like replace the glass for me or something

You can try, but it's very unlikely that they will. After all, a rock hit the windshield and caused damage. Since this isn't damage caused by a manufacturing defect, the manufacturers warranty won't likely cover it, but they could consider it for goodwill coverage i would not count on it.

However, it is something that your auto insurance can cover depending on your plan/coverage.

yea unfortunately i don't think the dealership will do it anyways. just thought i'd ask if anything had experience with it.

does anyone know of a good glass repair kit? i mean...this chip is so tiny that i thought it was just some dust stuck to the glass. i can prolly hide the chip by myself

after being broken into a few times, I was able to add 100% glass coverage to my insurance. no deductable at all. it covers repairs (like your situation) or a complete break.

Most glass places will come to you to fix it. I cant imagine it being too much considering a new front glass is around 180. id say under 50 should fix it
