How To Use The O’Brien® Saver Patch Kit On Your Windscreen Chip

If you get a chip in your windscreen, it’s important to protect the surface before you get it properly repaired to prevent dirt and particles from getting into it.

The O'Brien® Saver Patch kit is a nifty little package we hand out to our O'Brien® AutoGlass customers at the end of every visit. This kit contains two small clear patches that you can use to help keep any dirt and debris out of a windscreen chip before it is repaired.

We encourage all our customers to keep their O'Brien® Saver Patch kit in their glovebox, so you can find it easily if you ever need it.

Here’s the best way to use your O'Brien® Saver Patch kit in the event of a chipped windscreen:

1. Remove one of the Saver Patches from the kit and place it directly over the chipped area on the outside of your windscreen as soon as possible. This will help to prevent any dirt or moisture from contaminating your chip before it is repaired.

2. Be sure that the Saver Patch is not placed in the driver’s line of vision.

3. Call your local O'Brien® team to book a windscreen chip repair.

Remember that applying an O'Brien® Saver Patch will help improve the cosmetic quality of your chip repair, but it won’t stop the damage from spreading, meaning your chip could easily turn into a crack.

That’s why it’s best to call O'Brien® as soon as you can, so one of our expert Technicians can assess your chip and repair it for you – getting you back out on the road in just 30 minutes.
