[Shotimes] windshield crack

[MonsieurBoo@aol.com]

Another reason for drilling at the very farthest end of the crack is to put  
a small round hole there.  This stops the crack from migrating any further,  
similar to "preventing a stress riser".  That's why you have to be careful  to 
get it right at the very end of the crack -- if there's any bit of the crack  
extending on the far side of it, probably it won't work.

==============

Try to  fix it soon after the damage occurs. You will get a longer lasting
repair  if the area has not had much time to get dirt and moisture deep in
the  crack or defect. That's what the drill bit is about. Open up the damage
a  little bit and blow it clean before applying the magic  goop.
