Do not drive if the crack blocks your view or is spreading quickly
Clean the windshield with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth
Keep the area dry and free of dirt
Apply clear packing tape over the crack to prevent debris from entering
Use a windshield repair kit for small chips or short cracks
Follow the repair kit instructions exactly
Inject resin into the crack if using a resin repair kit
Cure the resin with sunlight or a UV light if required
Scrape off excess cured resin with a razor blade if instructed
Replace the windshield if the crack is long, deep, or in the driver’s line of sight
Contact a professional auto glass technician for a proper repair
Avoid sudden temperature changes
Avoid slamming doors until the windshield is repaired
Schedule repair as soon as possible to prevent the crack from spreading
