Heated windscreen - surface scratch

I am always loathe to have replacement windscreens fitted as non OEN parts are often shyate and with all the cameras, auto lights and HUD stuff nowadays I just don’t want the hassle.

Did you have whole windscreen replaced? That would require recalibration at Volvo too I've heard.

Did you show it to them? Was it fixable or did you left it as is?

My windscreen got hit by a small stone from a passing car and now there is a small chip / scratch similar to yours. It right in the drivers vision and kind of annoying. I'm sure I will get used to it, but if possible maybe it could be fixed?

I suffered what I thought was a fairly significant chip to my heated screen in September (see my post here with pictures https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=310401).

I had it repaired by Autoglass, and both before and after the fix the heated screen worked fine.
