hairline crack on windshield

[W)taps]

I have a huge hairline crack on my windshield..

it started as a small little crack like this (crack in this pic is super big... mine was literally the size of a pea)

but now it escalated to a huge hairline crack like this (not my pic) but from left to right (one end to the other) on my windshield..

is this a safety hazard or can I just leave it? i dont want my damn glass to break in the middle of driving lol

*nvermd. Go to safelite

 

[Bert.]

Get it replaced

Shoulda got the chip filled soon as it happened. Think it’s like $20-30 bucks at any glass shop

Happened to me last year

You're going to have to have the windshield replaced. As Bert. said, you need to get chips fixed almost immediately. Talk to your insurance company and see if they will cover the entire cost.

the amount of time it took to "escalate to a huge hairline crack" is the amount of time you had to get it fixed

I ain't gonna lie. I've had a crack on Civic's windshield for almost two years now and it goes about halfway down on the passenger side. I like to leave it there to remind me to keep grinding

j/k. I'm just lazy and usually drive my other car's

Safelite repair, safelite replace!

 

[Fozz]

Get it fixed, brosef.

 

[grimeyy]

Get it fixed. Last thing you want is for it to break and have huge shards of glass cutting your face and throat while you're driving 60mph

 

[louytromps]

Just use duct tape bro....

I live in Miami and our windows survive Category 5 hurricanes every year with just tape



jk.


Get it fixed homie.

[oh you mad]

Just get rid of the Windshield

Call your insurance, get the windshield replaced.

Exact same thing happened to my car. I swear I think the chip got there while getting my oil changed.

Had a car in front me wheels fling a small rock into my windshield. started like this, grew about a foot within 2 mins. Your insurance (if it doesn't suck) should pay for the new windshield. Will it shatter? Maybe/maybe not, but it is a HUGE eyesore and a cop magnet.

How did you get it to pass inspection with a cracked windshield tho?
In almost two years - you had to bring it at least once to get inspected. Crack must have been very small.

Get that fixed. If you catch it early its generally cheap. I had one and got it fixed for $20 around the way. Some guy has a little stand and people just pull up and get em fixed.

Depending on where you live also plays a part in dealing with windshield cracks. Talking to the guy who was fixing mine and he said that for people who live in areas like up north or east coast, a small crack can be bad because water can enter the crack. Depending on the season it is, the water can freeze which will make the crack expand and grow which ultimately will make the repair cost increase.
