Before you go the expensive route, try the repair kit from crappy tire...

10 bucks and pretty easy...

I used that kit... about 13 bucks.... It's like an injector... works great, fixed my star shaped chip permanently.

k thanks guys ima head to the tire shop.

those jingles sound great, but sometimes i think it compensates their product!

Don't wait until winter either.... do it ASAP. It's not just the moisture expansion that causes the crack to get bigger, your windshield also flexes in the wind.

ok thanks guys, its now a weekend project.

UH sorry but I misread the op...

That kit is good for chips but I don't think for cracks...

My bad...

if you dont feel like doing it yourself, some canadian tire stores have auto glass repair service available in their parking lot. just look for a little hut. they do a pretty darn good job and isnt too expensive.

small enough to be fixed by the kit. the kits are one-use, you'll you'll likely need two, unless you can carefully and successfully remove the sticky disc to the next spot.
