RE: Windshield Rockchip
Have my TT for a month now. Got a rockchip in the windshield today.Ouch! Ruined a really nice day. Anybody have any luck with repairing this kind of injury?

Funny you should ask...
Had the same thing happen a couple of days ago. Took it to the dealer (SoCal) and they called in one of those mobile windshield repair guys. They did a great job-there's a little opacity in the windshield but it looks like a dried water spot. Only cost $55-way better than the $600 or so for a replacement!

Have the chip sealed quickly. Ours was smaller than a pinhead, yet ran in less than 12 hours.
Replacement cost = $400
Plus $700 worth of paint damage to roof and hood by boneheads doing the install....they paid for paint repair.

Just use a windshield repair kit...
These are inexpensive and easy to use. I've used them on my pickup. The rock chip (six months old) on the TT I have just left alone, as it is quarter inch or less. No one notices, but me, and learning to live with some imperfections has been a good thing.
