After a brief back and forth with BMW they credited my account. But it WAS an issue later on down the line. Just use your own judgement on how bad the "chip" is. It might make sense to fight for new glass now if its bad enough.

Thanks - my chip is actually tiny. ITs literally the size of a pinhead, im not even sure how they'll fill it, but like someone posted, they may shave it down to fill. My main concern is that it could lead to something else which makes me replace my windshield. According to Geico, if I do this preventative maintenance with them, it eliminates my deductible on the windshield for a future problem (or thats what I think I heard). But I also have Mechanical Breakdown with them, which is essentially their extended warranty, which would reduce my $1000 deductible on glass to just $50.
But has anyone had Safelite fix something that wasnt really visible, and make it worse?
