Some car in front of me sent a pebble into my windshield while driving on I66 this morning. Now there's a small crack. Can it be repair or am I going to have to replace the whole windshield? I guess I can drive it like that but I'm afraid the crack may spread.

Is it a crack or more like a bull's eye? If it's a bull's eye, they can repair it with resin and you'll barely be able to see it - and, your windshield should not crack anymore.
I recently checked some prices - and, with my insurance. It turns out that my insurance will waive my $500 deductible if it's just a bull's eye and they'll cover the repair. If the windshield is cracked, then I'd have to pay my $500 deductible, or just pay the place $255.00 to replace my windshield.
I also checked with Safelite Glass about their prices to fix the bull's eye. I was told that it runs approximately $110.
Check with your insurance company first before making any further moves.

I did see your post. The resin actually does work - if you have a company do the work. Don't buy the $10.00 kit from Walmart and do it yourself.
Where did you happen to go to school? Your writing is quite bad.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. If done properly, the resin absolutely works perfectly.

That's nothing. Go down to autozone and get a $10 repair kit and do it yourself. I have the same type of nick and it works fine.

You know, you are quite retarded. Don't use the excuse that this is a blog / forum, so proper grammar and sentence structures are not necessary. If you intend to even appear to have any credibility whatsoever, maybe cleaning up your writing a bit might make you appear more believable.
However, in the meantime, you're nothing but a high school drop-out and flunky. You probably move between auto shop jobs every 6 months. I doubt if you're skilled enough to have any true mechanical skills, so you're not tasked with analyzing true problems with automobiles. Instead, you get assignments like changing oil, fixing flat tires and taking out the trash. That pretty much fills your day up. You dummy!!!

If you have full coverage, many insurance pays for a repair with zero deductible. It can't hurt to try a repair if it is free to you.

You need a clue..... douchebag
When done professionally, the resin does work...
Besides, the insurance companys wouldn't pay for the service if it did not, yo!
Most foks would have to pay for the new windshield anyway due to the deductable.
So it would be better for them financially to not to pay for the resin service.

Call your insurance carrier. A rock hitting your windshield falls within the "comprehensive coverage" on your policy because it's an "act of God." Comprehensive claims do not normally affect your premium because they have no bearing on the risk you represent to the insurance carrier. That is, if you're at fault in a crash and they have to pay out, they raise your rate because you caused the crash and so are considered a "more dangerous" driver from their perspective. But the rock hitting the windshield is just bad luck and has nothing to do with whether you're a risk.
If you have a deductible on your comprehensive coverage, however, you may wind up paying that amount out-of-pocket and it may not be worth submitting the claim. But that's a decision you have to make yourself based on your own policy.
As far as the various sniping goes, I don't read posts that use spellings like "u" and "ur" because I find them illegible. I figure if you want someone to take the time to read your thoughts, it's a fair trade for you to take the time to use proper English spelling and grammar (recognizing that the occasional typo happens, of course).

My Allstate comprehensive deductible is $500 so I would have to pay for a new windshield out of pocket. If the crack is not in the line of vision and can be repaired by a local shop then Allstate pays 100% for the repair. I opted for the repair since the crack is not in my line of vision.
The repair took about 10 minutes by shop out of Tyson (VA Glass) and they charged Allstate $50. They came to my house to do the job. The crack looks pretty much the same now, but the shop guaranteed that the crack won't spread. The guaranty is kinda lame as it only count the cost of the repair (i.e. $50) toward a new windshield.

Nonsense. You idiot! I have a double garage with a full array of air tools, tools, torque wrenches, code readers, etc. 90% of my car repairs are done by myself. So, please don't stereotype me as you just have. Meanwhile, I think the way I described you is spot on. You write and talk like you're half retarded. I don't think I'm a NoVA big shot. However, I do know when I come across an idiot on the Internet who thinks they know more than they do ... yet, they continue to dig themselves deeper holes by posting even more stupid responses to the comments.
Yet, tomorrow, a glass company will be coming to my work site and they will perform the "resin fix" on my car. The cost? Zero! Zip! Zilch! Nada! My insurance company has waived my deductible to have this repair done. So, in your words I guess I'm an idiot by going ahead with this service that will not fix my windshield correctly, right? Well, let me come back in 6 months to provide you with an update. You big dummy!

It depends on the vehicle. Our 2010 Ford Edge is going to cost $255, taxes included. The same job by Safelite was going to be $384 + $20 to drive to our location + $9.00 to dispose of the glass for us. Safelite is a fuggin rip off.

oh yeahh mr nova big shot/mr fix it, i would love to see this two door garage you speak of with all your tools/code readers. However I have this strange feeling your just bullshittin...bulls eye. That could be your new name brah...bullshit!
To be honest my man you sound exactly how depicted you stuck up know it all nova resident. ill keep stereotyping people like you because people like you never let me down. what is it that you say you do again? besides sit on the computer giving out advice and running your mouth about bad writing because someone does not care as much as you do about this forum/blog.
it looks like a couple other people agreed with me but judging but how god damn smart you are no ones opinion but yours matter (stereotype once again proven right). I might not have been 100% correct but I have seen it myself and I would much rather replace a windshield than doing the resin fix because it is anywhere from half the price to 3/5 the price to just replace it and if it fails like it can under certain circumstances (sorry if i did not elaborate earlier shit head) i would not want to throw more money at the problem doing the windshield replacement when it could have been avoided. Sorry for giving an opinion based on previous experiences in which i have had people come in saying that some other shop had tried to fix it and the resin fix had failed months down the road (not every resin fix fails) but i dont know what situation your in, I simply gave in opinion to avoid spending more money then the consumer originally intended.

I have a small ding on mine I'll probably have repaired before it gets too cold. Maybe if the selfish assholes around here in thier SUVs could pony up the $100 for mudflaps it would save a lot of people the trouble of having to repair a damaged windshield.
I like the guy touting his XJS as some badge of honor. I can buy an unreliable XJS for less than a Civic these days. The difference is the Civic will start every day.

I've fixed two bullseye nicks using that same product. The first one lasted for 4 years with no expansion of the cracking. Then I got my windshield replaced (Route 66 Autoglass - highly recommended) and got another nick in the SAME FUCKING SPOT and it's lasted 6 months already. It's worked for me, but that's all I can say.

my parents ask me to get off? i dont know about you but I live and support my living for me and my family...by myself.... im just going to assume that the only reason that you live in the nova area is cuz (oh no...i used cuz instead of because) your parents raised you here and paid for all your expenses and some how you think your still better then me but in reality you couldnt have made it past high scool in the real world alone. How should we come to the conclusion of who is the bigger moron? Should it be because i dont write like a pro or rather that you think your so much better then me because your some stupid yuppie that is only where he is in life because his parents pushed him through life?.....The answer is pretty obvious so no need to comment homie(oh no I used a slang term). I have made a fine living for myself in life and in nova without my parents holding my hand through every turn of life. "you big dummy!!!"

Bulls Eye has a point. Adults shouldn't be using "ur", "cuz", etc. if you wish to be treated with respect. Those are terms used by kids or people who are borderline illiterate. I don't understand why people have such a problem with some punctuation, capitalization, and using real words. No wonder America continues to decline, we can't fucking spell or put a sentence together.

I didnt ask you fucking losers to treat me with respect all that I did was write an opinion if you want to not take in the information because they way I chose to write then dont. I could care less but dont give me this bullshit about how I sound like a kid because I used ur or cuz as opposed to (your, youre,because etc.) just because I chose to write in slang terms. The facts and experiences that I have used dont change or become less credible. Try not to get your panties in bunch over stupid shit.

What makes you more of an adult? because you dont spell using short cuts? If I am in a bussiness environment requiring writings than you would never catch me using "ur" or "cuz" but I got news for you. This is a blog/forum aka not my life, work, and definatley not the end of the world.

Well, motorss, you know what happens when people assume, right? Please don't assume anything about others ever again. You're assumption is about 180 degrees off. My parents didn't pay for a dime of what I received or achieved. I didn't grow up in this area, but did move to the area following my military service. I didn't have a silver spoon in my mouth as you'd like to make everyone believe. I didn't have the opportunity to enter college following high school, either. Instead, I took a break of 3 days after graduating and was then headed to basic training.
As to my education, I connected with the right employers following my military service. I made use of the benefits provided - especially the tuition reimbursement program.
Life has been great so far, and I wouldn't change a minute of it. I wouldn't have wanted things given to me as I've learned though the school of "hard knox" what it takes to survive. I've survived and I've done it with great success, too.

Just a followup - just used the pictured product to fix my windshield's ding - looks good after the fact. Very straight-forward procedure. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again. Now just have to see if it lasts without any expansion.

I think if it makes it through one winter you would home free. Curious how this turns out fartman.

If I'm still hanging around here I'll post another followup next spring-ish.
Mini-followup for right now - the "patch" is quite hard to see - exactly what one would expect if it worked. I took an LED flashlight and looked at the patch from various angles (sight and lighting); under some conditions the cracks are still visible though they obviously have been filled - at least partially - with the resin. This bodes well for longevity.

Hello everyone, who can tell you what to do if I noticed a crack on the windshield of the car, how can this be fixed?

Hello, first of all you need to take scotch tape and completely seal the crack. This is necessary so that moisture, and even more dirt, does not get into the crack or chip, which will complicate its further repair and the result after repair. Then contact the nearest auto service, where they will first stop the crack, drill the chip from which it went, and then completely spill it with polymer. If the crack is very large and the glass cannot be repaired, then you need a windshield replacement, first you have to order a suitable glass and then contact a car service.
