I have done what you did in the video my friend. Cept I used gorilla super glue. No spreading and no yellowing. In July it will be 3 years. But thanks for your videos. They are the best on the web. 🙂👍🇺🇸

So, make a cooling solution out of antifreeze and water. Dip the bit regularly, and avoid overheating the glass as you drill it. I neglected to say, I have 35 years in the automotive, and commercial glass business…

In the Navy we used to stop cracks from growing in aluminum engine fairings on aircraft in this same manner, drilling a hole at the end of the crack.

Thanks for doing this video, I did this last winter on my car. I used the cheap harbor freight 10.00 rotory tool. It had the bits with it. Put it in a ziplock bag and keep it with my tire plug kit. Repair is still good.

Yes as of today 2/26/2024 repair is still good no change no additional damage. Oh and always carry the small one time use superglue just in case you cant fix right away. Put it on and don't scrape off even though you want to till you can drill and get the stress off the crack in the window.
Terrific idea!! The best news is, I have all the materials and tools required.

Gonna try using the diamond bits next time I've got a crack. The glass cutting bits alway seem to want too much pressure and I end up chasing the crack until I've done more damage than repair.

Same principal with a crack in plastic or steel. Drill a stress relief hole at the end to stop the crack, then weld it up or it will keep on cracking.

I've never had issues with repaired glass in cars that are in -20 to -30C winters. In heated windscreens it's common to get them damaged virtually at the second of glass cracking. Usually just one circuit remains ok.

One way to keep a crack from speading......move to a tropical climate. Cold weather spreds a crack faster than anything because the first thing you do when starting your car is turn your defroster on and that warm air meeting a below freezing windshield will spred that crack by inches a day. Also just get the windshield replaced because even if you stop the crack, the cops will still pull you over for a cracked windshield. That is considered a safety hazzard and you'll then be forced to replace it and then spend more money on the fix-it ticket you got to resolve the issue.
