Q: How can I stop a ‘growing’ crack in my car’s front window – from growing any more?
A: It is recommended that you do NOT try to fix this yourself. That you take it to a windshield repair company as soon as possible after the crack begins. However, you can purchase windshield repair kits at the better auto parts stores. Many people report that these do-it-yourself repairs are not up to par – and frequently leave the window foggy, or fail to stop the crack from enlarging. Also, if you do try to repair it yourself, the products/chemicals you apply to the window may well make it impossible for one of the cheap, filler-type repairs so frequently done today to properly fix the crack. This would leave you needing to have a brand new windshield installed – a much more costly venture.
