Any idea if tiny cracks in windshields are fixable?

[Nocturnal]

My car was shot by a bb gun and it made these little cracks. It isn't a line crack but you can tell it's cracked. Any idea if these are fixable or does the entire windshield have to be replaced?

If they're under a certain size or not in the driver's line of sight it should be fixable IIRC. Take it to a glass place and have them look at it. They'll be able to tell you for sure.

there are fix kits. basically inject a clear adhesive type fluid into the cracks to prevent spread. once it drys you use a razor to shave off excess.

Don't forget to see what your insurance says about glass. With mine, I have to pay my deductible if the whole windshield is replaced but any repairs that don't require replacing the windshield are free under my plan 🙂

Don't let water get into it.

if it's under the size of a dollar bill, it can be fixed. Mine was initially dime-sized, but over the course of 2 years, the water and temperature change got to it... big line straight across both sides... don't let that happen or you'll be out $200+ rather than a quick patch.

Call Safelite Auto Glass - they're a chain and they do great work.
