Lol well I don't feel so bad now

On the plus side I'm mounting it just above which means the mirror will block it from view do I don't have to look at it for a bit. Needless to say I bought the same glue lol. That kind of hold after 20 minutes is awesome! Remounted it correctly :thumbup:

I've been known to use an electric engraving pen to put a dimple on each end of the crack to keep it from crossing the windshield....but that's me...

To bad it isn't that kind of crack, though I have heard of that...don't think there's anything I can do short of hooking up an air compressor at very very low psi and leaving some resin to sit and set and hope for the best.

My insurance also covers crack repair with resin type stuff. The Jiffy Lube here charges 10 bucks to fill in a crack too. Might be worth a try.
