make sure you DO NOT wash your car or specifically DO NOT put any water on the crack when the windscreen is hot..it will crack the windscreen more, to prevent it from growing, there is this technique where you drill a tiny hole at the edge of where the crack is growing, this would prevent the crack from growing any further. get that done professionally, and it wont grow..just make sure you do not spill any water on the windscreen when it is hot.

I had a crack in my Corolla windscreen like 1 year back. It was the size of a pin, but it kept on growing - probably because it was exposed to water when hot. However, even after 8 months or so, it was small enough to not be visible. I tried finding a repair kit, but couldn't find one here. It wasn't noticeable, so I didn't bother after that. Just make sure you stop it from growing though.

There is no solution other than replacement. BTW: Which car is it ???

vitz 2001. thinking of filling it with elfy to make it stop growing?? i wish there were kits available

elfy wont do..you need to get a hole drilled at its growing edge, that would do
