hey guys. I have a crack on my windshield which started off as a ding right under my wiper. I stupidly left it alone and now it's about 4 inches long. Is there a quick fix for this or would I have to get the whole thing replaced? I really don't want to have to replace the whole thing if I don't have to.

Yea there is nothing you can do with something larger then a rock chip. You will have to replace the whole windshield. It is just gonna keep getting larger the longer you wait pretty soon it will be all the way across the windshield.

the only solution id recommend to fix that problem is to buy a new one..dont beat around the bushes when your safetys being jeopardized.

replaceing a windshield cost $200-300
i dont think you need to contact your insurance
also you need have a policy that cover windshield damage

If you have full coverage you should get 1 a year on your insurance

you should of done something right after the "ding" put in that glue of w/e they have so the crack doesn't spread...since my car was a highway car i have 2 of em on my windshield both filled with something that keeps it alright for now, although idk how long it's been like that...

if you cant cover it with a dollar bill, you will have to replace the window

I'd go to direct to nissan, they replaced my windshield after i clamed they broke it during service which they didn't of course but it was around 200 with OEM glass and linings all around. Pretty good job.

wow,thats pretty cheap. But don't stress yourself. I had a rock hit my windshield, i immediately bought the windshield repair kit. Then a week later, another rock hit it about 1 inch over ot hte left. I did the same thing immeditely. Over the winter, after it snowed and the snow melted off, i notice a big crack across the windshield. I'm gonna ahve to replace it soon, but its gonna cost me around $250, its because they come to the hosue and do it. And now i got so much more stuff to fix

if you go through insurance they will replace the whole windshield if you can not cover the crack with a dollar bill
