Butterfingers!

I recon Marlons idea of tape or wrap would be worth a try. Or even a strip colour coded to hardtop.

Good luck

the problem is the way it catches the light, esp in the dark - looks awful. really bugged me now. grrr
will try the clear laquer build-up route and see if it works.

Ye daft pillock Chris. Spend some of your hard earned and get it replaced mate.

That's a bugger! Is that a bootlid opening on to the glass? I thought as all UK cars had "hardtop preparation" there were limit stops fitted to the bootlid to stop it opening far enough to hit the roof?

Hope you can find a solution..

No it clears the bootlid by about 1mm.
It was me being a cack-handed dick and not preparing for the eventuality that one of us might drop it on its' glass edge. drrr

Dropped it? when fitting?

[Chris_D]

Well, not exactly dropped but the person helping me caused me to almost lose my grip on my top corner while i was opening a door. Not blaming them ofc. Just regret not planning ahead properly. This from a project manager too. Fail.

Hoping some carefully applied resin/laquer might conceal it a bit.
Couldnt find the chipped bit either. Coulda glued it back on perhaps.
Ho hum.

That’s annoying

Not sure if it would happen to automotive glass but I’d be a little bit worried about shelling - where now an edge is damaged it can shatter the whole lot without warning.

Seen it happen on shower screens a couple of times where it must have had a tiny imperfection on an edge. As I said this may not be the case here

I think I’d be saving for a new piece of glass

Nah it won't shatter. It's not the same kind of glass you get in a windscreen...or showerdoor.
It won't spider either as its not a crack. Carglass and another place confirmed that.
Just looks a bit horrid.
Going to ignore it til the weekend when i'll try to address it...

and er maybe get her name spelled right, otherwise it may be misconstrued that i'm batting for the same team. It's Lau, not Lou!

!!!!

[ronk]

I would suggest that the resin fill will only stabilise the damage unless vaccum applied.

The lid is only on for a few months and you don’t look at it - try and ignor it.

Where did you find that John...snort
