    Default Out of Province Inspection Windshield chip

    I recently brought a used GLK in BC and need to get an out of province inspection done here in AB. The car has a star chip that has been previously repaired, chip is around 3/4" in diameter but the cracks have been mostly filled in. Chip is located on the very bottom center of the windshield and is not in driver's direct line of sight.

    Where would be a good place to go for an out of province inspection and would this previously repaired windshield chip cause my car to fail? I heard that some places are very strict about out of province inspections. The alberta inspection hand book says reject if any cracks are found in windshield but leaves a lot to interpretation as they do not specify size and/or location of crack.

    Thanks for any response

    I had one that had two or three chips in it, and it passed.

    That was in Medicine Hat though, not Calgary.

    It'll pass anywhere if that's the only issue.

    ^ Yeah a small chip shouldn't cause it to fail. The only real cause would be if it led to cracks obstructing your field of vision.

    Correct, cracks obstructing vision, and cracks over 3 or 5 inches long...can't remember off the top of my head, cause inspection to fail. Can't see a chip the size OP has to be grounds for failure.
