Need some suggestions please

[07RS4]

I have two nicks in my right headlight lens from what looks to be a rock. I put two of the best pics I could get with my camera below. They can definately be felt with my finger nail, but have not pennatrated (sp) through the lens.

 

1. Has anyone ever dealt with a repair of this nature?

 

2. What are my options for repair? Besides replacement of the entire assembly, they are like $500 a piece.

 

The asked the Service Manager when I picked her up yesterday, and to be honest, he was baffled that I would care about 2 small nicks. Well, when there is nothing wrong with the rest of the car, they matter to me I explained. He reluctantly said "well, we could try the filler they use on windshields, but it would probably look like crap". Hmmmm. The good news is, they didn't wash the car and I had two or three dudes from the back come out and ask what products I used, because the car looked amazing. I just grinned, and gave him a distributers card.

 

This is really bugging me, so any suggestions would be great. Thanks. Dave:help:

I don't believe there is anything that you can do to fix It,IMHO!

That sucks...I'll do some research, or hope that someone replies. I'm thinking some sort of plastic filler, but I don't know if anything would dry crtystal clear or be that durable. Maybe a 2-part epoxy of some sort, but I don't kow of a clear version. It would probably look worse by the time I got a hold of it:lol:

It's really not too noticeable. As soon as u replace it it may just happen again. You coul put some 3M clear bra on the lenses to protect them, and it may hide the nicks also!

If it was me I'd trade the car in and get a new one :lol:

Or I'd buy it cheap since its damaged now, probably not worth much!

I say call the glass repair guys & see what they say. There HAS TO BE a fix bro. I'm not so concerned about the condition NOW. But fast forward to next summer, with no repair, how much worse will it be??

I think I'll do that....I don't want it to get worse. It's almost like she's crying when I wash her now:confused: I may even look into the clear bra idea.

 

Thanks for all that posted responses:xfingers:

If it were my car I'd just shrug it off and live with it as a part of daily driving. Sometimes one just has to let the little things go.

If it bugs you too much check Ebay and replace it!

It's not a DD, and now is the only flaw the car has that I can't correct. For being 4+ years old, there isn't even any small rock chips or paint defects at all. Just trying to keep it that way:lolsmack:It may be an uphill battle, but I'll try.....

 

Good idea Chris, I'll check eBay.

Honestly, I would just say don't worry about it. Some things just have to be taken as they are.
