Will the warranty cover this

I doubt it. I think that falls under general wear & tear. Get yourself some glass coverage thru your insurance agent. I believe it's like $16 for the year. Then wait a month the put in the claim.

right, warranty wont cover this. call your insurance agent some insurance companies repair/replace for free. others charge a deductible. my advice is not to have it repaired but replaced. replacement will look better.

If it isn't directly in your line of sight, I suggest getting the chip repaired. Save your insurance claim on a new windshield for when you get the big one (crack) or lots more little ones. Otherwise you are going to be buying glass at each oil change.

Once you drive that baby off the lot and you go down the highway and a rock chips your windshield you are done. I am currently in the process of fighting the factory on a crack that appeared on the inside pane of glass after about 3500 miles. It runs from the bottom of the windshield and is obviously a factory crack from the inside edge. After 2500 miles the factory will not cover glass even if you have my circumstances. Good luck!

Interesting I have noticed a line on my windshield almost like the wiper blade left a mark there but it has never been left in that position. Sometimes you can see water run down it. I'm going to see if Bon Ami will take it out...

I carry a roll of scotch tape in my tool box for just the occasion. If you get a chip the first thing you do is pull over and stick the tape on the wound a couple times pulling any rock fragmints out and then using a fresh piece of tape over the wound untill you can get it sealed. the tape will keep the chip clean and the chip will be invisible when sealed. works everytime!
