A sudden drizzle on a hot sunny afternoon has cracked my windshield. Saw a chip with an impact point at the edge on the windshield towards the rubber trim, 1 more mm towards the rubber would have reverse my mis-fortune.
The chip may have been there for days without me realising it because it's at the edge and I didn't wash my car for more than 3 weeks.. :p
So when I saw the crack, its already 4" long and within the same day, grew another few inches and stop at about 8".
My windscreen repairer always advise me to put a cellophane tape over the chip or crack to avoid contamination which will make repairing less perfect. So I did the same.
Contacted my repairer and told him the situation, he asked me to replace the windshield because crack too serious. I managed to locate another repairer that'll do the job for me but I decided on the more adventurous path.... DIY!!
After some sourcing and finally bought this:
While waiting for it to cure under the sun... :D
