Should be covered under your car insurance, just the excess to pay mate. Also it does not go against your NCD.

Ahh so what's under the front Nissan badge? Is that the lane departure warning camera?

Is that factual or otherwise? I would have thought the two in the wing mirrors would be the logical cameras to detect the lines as well as there being a car or something else in the blind spots?

shouldnt shatter crack will just spread mateCan confirm theres spiders legs from it so a repair wont be in orderCars not even a month old and hip on lower passenger side I cant even see it from drivers position so ill leave it until it bothers me lolWhen sitting inside car behind the rear view mirror very cleverly hidden is a massive unit you only notice if you get out the car and look through front screenWhen you look from utside the camera / sensor unit is huge as it goes, very cleverly hidden from inside the cabinThis houses the lane departure road signs etc so its safe from stone chips etc

Sorry to hear of this, it is so annoying on a new vehicle and all chips are hard to live with.It will be interesting to see if any company has these windscreens as there was a shortage for building new models a few weeks ago, I bet no company has them in stock and will no doubt be waiting for them from Nissan.
