First windshield chip, repairable? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well it looks like there's a crack spreading from the repaired spot again, very small so far so I don't think I can even get a picture of it and it looks like it's just on the inner layer of glass. Advice? Should I just monitor it for now or is it something that could be filled in again if I take it back? With how small the crack is so far they'd probably just have to drill out the first repair and fill the same spot again.

If it is spreading from the repair there isn't much you can do about it. The repairs work by filling the damaged spot with resin and if it didn't get it in there the first time going back and trying again will not work.

Yeah, same thing is happening to the relatively small chip I got last year, which I was able to mostly "fix" for a months, but it's been becoming clearer over the past month or so.

The Safelite I went to after my windshield got chipped said that if the crack starts spreading out from the repair site, they'd deduct the cost of the repair service from the cost of a full replacement.

So sorry, that is why I went straight to replace. I don't like repairs.

Call Spider and let us know how it goes.

MY RV windshield crack has not been repaired by any auto glass repair expert and I am now fed up going here and there. Share any name of the store where I can have rv windshield replacement at a reasonable cost.

I agree with the guys and their advice that it is better to repair this crack and thus prevent it from enlarging than to change the glass. If you had attached pictures of the crack, the situation would have become much clearer. I can advise you to go to the page https://www.carwindshields.info/windshield-repair-kit and read a review of various windshield repair kits. With their help, you can repair the crack yourself. It will be fast and inexpensive buuut of course, you need to have some confidence in your handyman skills
