Anyone ever wake up to a new windshield crack?

Not sure on this. I always use those super glue type glass repair/fill kits on hand for knicks in the glass. They’ve always done the trick for me. I keep a couple on hand in the garage somewhere.
I see, this makes sense. Fixing them early is key and keeping a couple glass repair kits on hand is honestly smart, especially with how easy it is to pick up small nicks.

Are you finding you are constantly repairing knicks in your windshield?

Unfortunately, yes. I came back from a trip and when I walked through the freezing cold airport parking lot, I saw a small crack on the windshield that grew quite a bit on my frigid 3-hour drive home 😩.

Haven’t worked up the courage/nerve/funds to fix it yet.
Oof, that’s brutal — especially noticing it before a long cold drive.

Once they start, those cold highway miles seem to make them grow fast. Totally get putting it off too… it’s never a fun expense.

Has it stayed about the same since, or is it still slowly creeping?

I haven’t checked in a while.

I just know that with my luck, it’ll crack again like a week after I get it fixed. However, I recently moved to a warmer climate so the random cold cracks shouldn’t be an issue anymore.

Totally get the hesitation. It always seems like the second you replace it, that’s when the next rock shows up 😅

Warmer temps should definitely reduce the random cold-spread type cracks though, so that’s a win.

Keeping our wipers crossed it holds up for you 🤞
