Re: Does rock chip repair prevent windshield crack propagation?

 What happens to that crack is almost completely variable. I can say
repairs CAN work though.
This is just anecdotal, but I cracked my windshield on the lower left
driver's side with the 4" crack headed straight up. I put epoxy on it
first, then switched to clear silicone. That patch pulled the crack
sideways over to the edge. It looks like a park sticker there now and
has been good for five years. If your crack is more in the middle of
the glass you have more difficulty stopping the crack. If you trust the
place I'd take the $60 chance. Sometimes they stop the crack by
drilling a tiny hole beyond the end of it. That's risky too. There are
no guarantees that drilling a relief hole won't cause a crack.

Good reply. I'd like to add that having had somewhere around 50-75
windshields "fixed" accordingly, resulted in all successes except one
Lincoln Town Car--that little chip 'ran', producing an alternative-solving­
scenario: now, no doubt about it, replace the w-shield. The 'fixer' at
least did not charge me for his attempt. IIRC, they don't guarantee against
such failure, and it fails on the spot, rather than several days, weeks,
months later. I'm happy with the batting average I experienced. HTH, s
