A stone chip can be repaired by means of a resin injection to prevent the damage from getting worse. Resin can be injected using a DIY windscreen repair kit or by an auto-glass repair expert who will inject the resin using more sophisticated windscreen repair kits.

Windscreen replacement is best left to the professional

Modern windscreens or windshields are generally made of laminated safety glass, a type of treated glass, which consists of two (typically) curved sheets of glass with a plastic layer laminated between them for safety, and are glued into the window frame. Because, windscreens of modern cars are glued in using a urethane adhesive and not wedged in like those of the early 80's and before, it is strongly advisable to take your car to a certified auto-technician to have a windscreen removed and replaced. There are many professionally designed windscreen removal tools that will safely remove any adhesive bonded glass from any vehicle. Before you attempt to remove and/or replace a windscreen, consider carefully whether the risks involved, outweigh the cost of having it done by a professional auto-technician.
If you are going to remove a windscreen, remember that it is advisable to always wear proper eye and hand protection when working with glass and windscreen removal tools, to avoid splinters or cuts. And, accidental damage to a vehicle from glass splinters or a windscreen removal tool can be prevented by protecting it with a dash board protection mat whilst cutting out a windscreen from the inside of the vehicle.
