Dang JJay killing me softly.

Charlie,funola: That is exactly what i'm wondering. I had a rear side glass break soon after i got the car 10 years ago and i still find lil glass nuggets in there. To me, that illustrates the difference between the tempered glass used on the sides and what would be laminated glass used on the front and back. I would like to get a solid answer just for my own piece of mind mainly. I got such a certain NO from both of the glass repair places. Without even seeing the crack or really knowing what kind of car i was talking about they are saying " all back windshields are tempered glass and unrepairable by our method". Really makes me feel like they are full of it.

I agree that replacement is the only best option. I'm just at a point with this car that i can't bring myself to put another $125 minimum for a used glass + four hour drive to get that glass + $200 for the seal + Hours of labor and stress to get it swapped into this car.

Call it $400. That is $400 that i would much rather spend on a new to me w124 diesel before i would want to put it in this car.

I think i would rather take my chances trying to seal it, repair it somehow to keep it from spreading and just ride till if explodes or i'm ready for the next one. Whichever comes first.

Me and my brother used one of those DIY crack/chip deals on his car windshield a short time ago. I don't think that could work on this crack.
