    Front Windshield crack

    Hello guys,

    Got a very tiny crack on the front windshield from a "flying stone".

    I noticed it started to grow a little bit bigger with time.

    Any place that can fix it before its too late and then I have to replace the whole windshield?

    something like this maybe?

    I don't actually think there's a place where you can "repair" windshields. You can just replace them with cheap ones in Sharjah.

            i think once there is a "crack", its too late to repair the windscreen. A "star" or "Stone chip" is fixable, but if there is a crack, for safety concerns, i would replace the windscreen.

                agreed man.. but If its a small crack than they fill it up with something which will stop it from expanding and give it its rigidity back, and it is almost invisible (they got a technic of doing so)... I went for this process in order not to change the windscreen, not for the cost saving purpose (initial budget was 350 for the fix) but more because no one would install the windscreen in the same way it came from factory...

                Of course we are talking about a "small Crack" around the stone ship not a side to side crack. if its a big crack it wont even pass the registration
