Also, I don't claim to know your states laws. I know in NYC, there isn't that much recourse in small claims court if the party doesn't pay you. I've been through that. If you have a bank account number, you go to the sherif's office and they put a stop on it. But there is nothing like your state where they have to disclose something. Hopefully you are right about your state.

Good luck. Hopefully it will work out for you. If this was at the dealer, you might want to try calling BMW - the dealer might decided to cover it rather than deal with the company.

Thanks for the heads-up! I have used the process before and you are correct, if you have your facts in order you will prevail....most people just show up and expect a judgement in their favor. I will have all my evidence and a strong case to present.

Previous to this repair you could hardly notice the chip...now it is hazardous, so I dont think I will have a problem getting letters from other windshield shops to support my case that replacement is the only option.

We are getting off topic though...the purpose of my post was to warn that the X5 windshield might not take these chip/crack repairs very well and you might want to think twice before having it done.

Thanks again.
