New Owner Advise

I recently purchased my first Porsche, a 1986 Carrera 911. The car is in excellent condition and I am having a blast with it. I have fallen in love. I'll share pictures in another post later. While polishing it yesterday I noticed a tiny chip in the windshield on the passenger side. Has anyone had any experience with these companies that fix chips in auto glass. I would like to prevent, if possible, the chip from becoming a crack. It's too small to photograph. Advise on this approach? I am in the north Jersey area.
Thanks, Barry

no doubt it came from DRIVING FAST quit polishing and start driving. Ok that being said, go to a glass shop and they can put some epoxy in there to prevent the crack from spreading

Thank you James, I'll try to drive faster. Having had to give up motorcycling for the most part due to back problems, I'm finding this to be of equal fun factor.

changing windshields and fixing dings in the paint is a badge of honor
