Windshield Repair Forum

I think people call this type of chip a half moon. It has a very, very small impact point and unlike a bullseye where the damage is a complete circle there is only a very small damaged area that looks like a cresent moon. Maybe 1/3 of the way around. It is black so I am guessing it has air in it.

From the look of the impact point I am having a hard time believing that it is connected to the pocket of air, but I guess the air has to come in from somewhere. The impact point looks like a really tiny pit, the kind you see all over an older windshield or on vertical windshields.

Any advice on how you go about fixing this?

I also had a batwing on the same windshield (its my own truck) except it had another crack, which was not open to the surface, running through each leg. It looked kind of like a capital A. I was wondering if the additional crack was going to fill but it came out perfect. Didn't even drill it.

I am so glad that repair number one after the delta kits training class worked

The half moon chip should be fixed the same as a full bulls-eye. You'd be surprised how much resin will flow through a tiny pit. If it doesn't, then you may need to drill a tiny hole into the black area and fill.

It wouldn't take any resin through the pit so I drilled into the black and it filled right up. The only screw up is that I ended up with a bubble left in the drill hole from the pit resin. Practice, practice, practice...............
