Question glass chip removal

Any suggestions to remove small chips (1/32" dia; no cracks) in the glass?

They can be fixed but never fully removed. I had 3 chips in my glass. I just had my insurance replace my windshield for free since my deductible was $0

small chips? as in rockchips? i work for a autoglass company. you can never "remove" chips, you can only repair them. pretty much means you fix the chip so that it wont spread and crack the glass, but when it is repaired, you cannot hide/take the chip away and you will always see it there.

Yep... its small rock chips without any cracks. Any experience using windshield repair kits? Typically, these kits have a syringe fill with resin.

If you maintain Florida vehicle insurance, you should
have replaced by a mobile/shop tech. I believe that
this claim does not impact your insurance record. There
is also no deductible involved. Call any glass shop to
schedule. They will be happy to assist. The chip could
lead to future breaks/spidering.
