Re: Rock chips, from the inside.
My ex and I owned a body shop for a few years after working in the field for
many years. I agree with Doug 100%.
In this case, if it's a problem, I have a $50 deductible on my Comp
coverage.

Re: Rock chips, from the inside.
That didn't take long, did it? I just took a rock in the right turn
signal lens that smashed it into a hundred pieces, and even dented the
fender around it. It's always that 1st dent that PO's you the most.
I've thrown rocks the size of grapefruit out of the drive duals on the
tractor; one took the fender completely off at 3 a.m. once, and nearly
scared the poop outta me. The guy driving next to me nearly had a
heart attack.
Bleh. Hit the dealership's body shop if it's an annoyance. They can
have the fixed up in one day. WTH --it's only money, right?

Well, your Jeep isn't a 'virgin' any more. The second ding shouldn't
