Stone chip and faults

Writing on behalf of my parents who have a 3 month old GTi. The other day, driving down the M4, got a bad stone chip on the windscreen. Could anyone recommend anyone who could fill it, or should the windscreen be replaced.

Also, the wing mirrors sometime fail to unfold and the rear parking sensor beeps constantly even when nothing is behind. Has anyone else had these problems?

Electric folding mirrors seem to be a common issue but no-one seems to know what the specific problem is - 'just dogy electrics'. I usually find that twisting the knob back and forth a couple times usually resets things back to normal. Annoying isn't it?!

If your parents have comprehensive insurance they should be able to get the chip repaired free of charge - just ring the insurance company for their recommended repairer. Repairs won't affect your renewal premium next year as well.
