The front driving window of my car is cracked from the top … advice ?? help?

So starting from the top, the crack goes down like 4 inches then goes leftward another 4 inches

do you know if it's really necessary to replace the glass in front of the driver in a car? I have a minisuv if that matters. it seems the crack was made during my drive last friday during the snowstorm…

    I do not know your local laws about the visibility through your front windshield in your area. They are pretty strict in my country and a crack of a total of 8 inches would definitely need to be replaced in my country unless it's way over to the passenger's side. However to stop a crack from going further someone once told me to put simple nail polish at the bottom of the crack on both sides, and it happened to me too once on a very small crack when i was running low on funds… so , anything to save some $$ .. so i tried it and it really seemed to keep the crack from going any further for a while. but again, check your local laws to make sure you don't get pulled over by the police, because money st pent on them, you might as well invest in a new windshield.

    As a retired police officer I can tell you that a cracked windshield will get you a ticket or a safety equipment repair order. Anything damaging a windshield that impairs the drivers vision of the roadway must be repaired and your state law says what is or is not an impairment to the drivers vision. If you get a ticket for the windshield make sure you comply promptly or your tags may be suspended. Check with your local police department or the state police where you live as they can tell you how much time you have to replace/repair the windshield if you get a ticket.
