Yes, works great.  My insurance paid for the whole thing (twice! 2 separate
incidents).  If your insurance doesn't cover it you can DIY for under $10
from Wal-Mart.  Can't drive it for 3-4 hours but other than that if your
meticulous it comes out the same as the pros.

Good Luck,
Bill

Subject: windshield repairs

I'm getting the van ready for summer travels and noticed that there's a
perfect little gravel chip in the windshield from an oversized piece of
winter road sand. It's a little crater on the front, but the chip itself
extends in a little spherical impact zone through the first layer of glass.

So, my question: I've seen those ads and received those telemarketing calls
from outfits that claim they can come to your house and repair your
windshield. I have the impression that they sort of inject epoxy into the
damage, or something. Is this worth doing? Will it actually keep the damage
from spreading and return the cosmetic appearance? Is there anything I
should look out for?
