I know ... I am such a dick.... I was just telling annie apple auto glass is synonymous with window repair and you have to bring up another company.
I've used both Speedy and Apple and both of them can clog up that ding before it spreads. It's just that Apple doesn't have a smarmy jingle.

At first I was like, Is it a bird, is it a plane....
That sucks, I'm sorry, but it is better than a big old paint chip. They can replace that glass easy peasy. Don't let them talk you into a repair!! In fact I would call Honda and see if you can get OEM glass since it's a 2023 model.
OEM vs. Aftermarket Windshield Glass - What's the Difference?
Explore the benefits and drawbacks of both OEM and aftermarket glass for a windshield replacement. Learn which one is the best suited for your vehicle.
However, the advent of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems has resulted in big shift. Many automakers are now requiring or recommending that windshields with cameras or sensors located on them be replaced with OEM glass when broken.
One prominent example is Honda.

Why not repair? The chip is nowhere near the sensors. My windshield deductible is pretty cheap. $50At first I was like, Is it a bird, is it a plane....

You could repair, but it will still be slightly visible.
Here most insurance companies do glass for free under comprehensive.

I swear, every time I fix the chips I just get a new one a week later.....as long is its not in the visible portion or affecting the sensors....
Yeah, I'm dreading it. Although I bought insurance for just that so we'll see. Essentially integrity of your windshield is part of your airbag safety system so I'd worry about fixing it but I'd expect a shatter with an airbag deployment with a crack and you need that to survive the explosive deployment for your safety. So I dunno....At first I was like, Is it a bird, is it a plane....

I want swap my airbags for an ejection seat... shoot me out the sunroof.Yeah, I'm dreading it. Although I bought insurance for just that so we'll see.

Be careful what you wish for fractured shoulders were common with ejection seats. Hopefully that's all behind us now, @raratt ? It was a real ouchie if the canopy didn't go first.....
PS I'd always hoped for a cat shot in my life
Never, voluntarily, leave a perfectly good airframe.

So my tent zipper repair attempt failed. I bought a sailmakers awl and some waxed thread. It's never too late to learn new tricks!
Circling back to an earlier conversation here, I noticed ac infinity 19" bowl trimmer, currently $129.00 on Amazon, has a 25% discount coupon attached. Looks a lot like rsawr's

The canopy on the U-2 was ejected by the brass colored actuators of which two of four are visible in the forward canopy seal area. From what I have heard compression of the spine is a problem with ejection. The pilot also had spurs that attached to cables which pulled his feet back against the seat pack to keep them in place when ejecting. Don't leave the cockpit without them...
