Cracks can’t be repaired that I’m aware of.
And if not taken care of soon, it will only spread more.

Always ensure you ask for three references.
Ask for pic of adhesive n primer system. Must say 30 min / 60 min to pass 50 km crash test. Ensure you get a receipt even if paying cash. 10 percent of all jobs done at dealerships are redo’s of clients with no receipts.

If it’s the factory windshield, I’d leave it.

Your windshield needs to be replaced.
Autoglassworx is an excellent place for this. Ken is very knowledgeable. And fair pricing.

That is not repairable.
As others have mentioned Autoglassworx is highly regarded here on RFD, i have used them twice and their service is outstanding and prices extremely good. You cannot go wrong here, give them a call for a quote you will not get better service than here.
Mention that you found them off RFD as its great to see good service with fair prices generates goodwill in the community.

Go to Afghan auto glass, they offer the best prices and their work is top notch. They’re located in Scarborough.

I used Autoglassworx.ca.
Great owner and very customer oriented. He also does the install the right way (removes windshield cowl, proper cleaning of old residue, higher quality bonding agent, etc).

GT glass tools. Long crack repair. Great tools, expensive, works well. I don’t have their long crack repair tools but wouldn’t hesitate if I was in the market as I have their other tools.
Here’s a video of them using it:

I've taken 3 different vehicles there for a windshield replacement....the 3rd one I took this morning.Beamerguy28 wrote: ↑ Go to Afghan auto glass, they offer the best prices and their work is top notch. They’re located in Scarborough.
Always have been satisfied and the prices are cheap. I'm guessing the windshield itself has to be on the cheaper aftermarket side, but what do you expect for $300?
Cheap pricing and very good service. Really like the guys there, will keep going back.

Surprisingly enough from what I’ve seen the quality of the glass is at par with factory, I’m not sure how they do it with their prices.CdnRealEstateGuy wrote: ↑ I've taken 3 different vehicles there for a windshield replacement....the 3rd one I took this morning.

You can buy a repair kit on amazon and try it out yourself for like $10.
If it still fails, id go to pros and ask them to repair. Should cost like $20-$50.
Finally, replace it.
