[DML] Re: Cracked Windshield

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Look in a local phone book in the yellow pages under "glass". In just
about any large city there should be several that advertise repair of
glass. Not all cracks can be repaired. They use a suction cup that
holds an injector syringe with clear epoxy against the glass and that
is injected directly into the crack and into the layers of glass. It
costs around $50 and no guarantees. They come to your house or have
drive-in service. They also do chip repair, as in a rock bouncing off
the glass and chipping it. I would try it before replacing the glass.
Inspect the lower edge carefully and you may see where a small chunk
(chip) was knocked out. That is where the crack started. The chip is
from improper handling of the glass. I know I was careful handling my
glass and the installer was also very careful. It had to have happened
before I got mine and I picked it up at Rob's just so it wouldn't get
damaged in shipping from him to me. It must have happened before he
got it. From your picture it was hard to tell it did *NOT* start at
the clip.
