They work really well, sometimes the Insurance co. will waive the deductible for the repair. It's important to get it taken care of right away, before any moisture gets in. The guy who repaired my slick windshield issued a business card that included few vinyl stickers on it, said to stick one of those over the ding if it were to happen again, keeping it dry before the repair improves the chances of a good outcome I guess.

I recently used an off-the-shelf RainX windshield repair kit on an old chip located squarely in direct line of drivers sight of my 2000 F-250.
Knowing it was an old chip with lots of moisture and debris inside and even a pro wouldn't be able to yield an invisible repair, let alone a passably unnoticeable patch, I opted to DIY it.
I can say the results were as expected for an old chip. There is an annoying "bubble" in the glass still, but it is at least transparent.
As for me, if the spot is at the fringe of driver's line of sight, and it's an un-special vehicle, I'll throw $10-$12 at the Saturday morning fix.
