Last night driving back from the mountains and noticed a crack in my windshield not sure if it was a rock or something else. Anyone have any ideas on how to stop it from spreading? Live in New Mexico, and it goes from cold to hot and hoping to wait until spring or summer to get new window.

 

How big is it now? If it's smaller than say a quarter, you can fix it, if it's bigger you're SOL, it will just get bigger and bigger, needs replacing now.

 

bout six inches

 

I'd say theres no stopping it at this point.... If it was smaller you could have it sealed up but i believe 6" is too long

 

Yeah, windshield replacement is inevitable at this point.... sorry bout that.

 

Call safelite, they replaced mine a few months ago, it was alot cheaper than expected and they did it fast

 

Alright cool thanks for all the help guys. .

 

Get you a razor blade and scribe a mark at the ends of the crack (Perpendicular to the crack)

 

Yep the razor blade trick works done it maney times

o yea make sure you score both sides of the windsheld wher the crack ends to make sure you get it

 

I had a quarter size crack in my car. I had it sealed. It held till it got cold and I used defrosters. It cracked all the way aceoss.
