This sucks. My windshield had a small leak on the top passenger side. So I bought some silicone and I was removing the metal strip surrounding the windshield. Well, as I was pulling one of the clips off I hear a "tink", and I though "oops, I broke one of the clips." Well, I look at my windshield to see a HUGE spidery crack. Well, I get all mad and swear at it, etc, and continue to remove the strip. A few minutes later, as I am putting the strip back on, I accidentally rested my hand on the windshield near where the crack was. It got much bigger. So now I have this monster network of cracks directly in my line of vision while I drive. You have no idea how much that pisses me off. Anyway, point is this: I heard of some glass-crack fixes, are they any good? Also, how much should I expect to pay to buy a used windshield and how much hassle to install? If it is a huge PITA (which I expect) how much is it to get done at a decent shop? I have never done any glass-work before so I have no idea what to expect. Thanks much in advance!
