yeah a friend of mine did the clear duct tape thing a while ago. be sure to tape it on good. he said there was a small wind leak noise and sometimes even water when it rains a lot. but rain-x would really do the trick. as far as transparency goes- it's pretty dead on. if you want the shop to do it, just tell the to clear bra the windshield, that should do the trick
hope that helps. |

my windshield has been cracked from one end to the other for the past 6 months. nothing happens dont worry there is protective shield on both sides of the glass that holds it together. just dont go over 120mph and you should be fine.

Have you tried using the aforementioned Clear Duct Tape?

windshield crack keeps growingg... HELP!! how do i stop it? > Reply to Thread
I had a crack in my windshield a few weeks ago and in Florida it is covered under your insurance(USAA). I got it done for free and I will just pass on some info that the repair guy told me.
First, as soon as you notice the crack put a piece of tape over it so dirt and other things can't get into the crack. Get it fixed by a glass company ASAP. If you buy one of those fix-it kits from the auto stores and try to fix it yourself it will not work. Once you try to fix it and see that you just messed it up and probably made it worse, the glass repair company will not touch it. You are on your own. Just call them and have it repaired!!! I can hardly even tell there was a crack in my window. |
