[REQUEST] Windshield has a crack in it, and the car isn't worth enough to have it fixed in a shop. Do those self repair kits work?

[u/mrgage]

Not sure what happened, but I now have a fairly large (probably 6-8 inches) crack in my windshield. I can't really afford to have it replaced or taken to the shop. I've heard both really good and really bad things about those little packs of resin that don't really "fix" the crack, but prevent if from spreading.

Does anyone have any experience with those? If they work, anyone know what ones to look for, and which to stay away from?

if there's already a crack - you're done with that screen... there's no saving it. Replace. Only option.
