Truck windshield rock chip repair

While driving on the aforementioned Dillon Road (on another occasion), another vehicle threw up some sand and rocks, and one hit the windshield of our truck, taking out a chunk of the glass. That’s the first time we’ve had that happen.

The recently acquired step was useful to get easier access to the windshield:

The repair kit included a suction-cupped holder:

The repair worked really well; one can hardly tell where the damage was.

The kit is good for more repairs, so a useful thing to have, should we get any more rock chips in our truck or coach windscreens.
