    I was looking my car over and noticed a crack on the windshield. It is down low by the bottom tint on the driver's side. Is there anything I can do to seal it or stop it from spreading?

    negative ghost rider.

    Cracks will always spread.

    You can only stop a big rock chip from spreading with that special sealant crap those glass guys use.


    I got glass coverage for this very reason, cost me 6 bucks a year lol.

    Mine did the same **** on my 01GT started out as a crack the size of my pinky and turned into a crack that went all the way across the windshield. I had full glass but never felt like getting it fixed.

    The only way to stop the crack is to drill a small hole at the end of the crack that's spreading.
