lol is there anything tape can't fix.
Anyways, there are specialised companies (Carglass in belgium) that can fix any cracks not bigger than an inch in diameter (2 euro piece if you ever seen one ![]() ![]() So basicly if it isn't too big, act fast, if it is... replace it ... with a full retrofit seethrough ducttape window. perfect fit, no error codes |

You don't need to replace the windshield. Take it to a windshield specialist to have the crack treated so that it will not further crack your windshield anymore. I'm not sure why you thought super gluing the windshield would help in preventing further cracking.

Oh, BTW, I cleared the windshield code. I reinstalled a new clear duct tape, apparently the one I was using before was not the correct wattage. I'm currently using the 35w one, on my 06 build, and am error code free! |

FS: Scotch Clear Duct Tape, for windshields. 3 yards long. I only used a couple strips, until I found it to throw error codes on my 06 build. Like new, asking 65 bucks, prefer local pick up, but will ship at buyers expense. The output wattage on this is 55w, which is perfect for E90's. PM me if interested. |

And the LED lights I have on my exhaust are working fine. They are not actually wired to anything on my car. I purchased several LED keychain lights from Walgreens and just used CLEAR DUCT TAPE to put them on. Again, Clear Duct Tape is my best friend... multi functional.
