Re: Windshield

<x-flowed>A glass shop can repair a windshield for about $40.  They inject a resin 
into the crack, effectively making the windshield whole again.  There will 
be a little of the crack visible, looks like a hair on the glass.  But it's 
definitely cheaper than replacing the glass.  In some circumstances where 
body flex caused the crack, the windshield needs to be replaced because 
repairs will not hold.

I have a curved crack in the bottom-left corner of my windshield (right
under my inspection stickers).   It is about 5-7 inches long right now, and
getting larger because of the wacky weather here in Erie PA.  Do you guys
have any suggestions on fixing or stopping the crack?  Or do I neeed to get
my windshield replaced?

By the way, what do those things go for (installed) ?

Thanks,
