A repair of that size should not be fixed . That said ...if your car insurance doesn't cover the damage ... Don't go to Safe-Lite ...they use generic windows placed by generic mechanics ... spent a few $ more by going to your dealer ...believe me it's worth it
Some companies will repair a large crack such as your if it does not reach from one edge of the windshield over to another.I would recommend replacement.Most of the time you can see the crack slightly still after the repair and delamination is a possibility later on.check with your insurance company and you may be able to pay a $50 deductible to have it replaced.
DINGS ARE OK TO REPAIR AND DONE DAILY...
CRACKED WINDSHIELD REPAIR PUTS YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS AT GRAVE RISK... DO NOT LISTEN TO PENNY WISE DOLLAR FOOLISHNESS...
REPLACE IT WITH ORIGINAL NON GENERIC WINDSHIELD , YOUR SAFETY SERIOUSLY DEPENDS ON IT... IMAGINE A PEBBLE SHATTERING YOUR WINDSHIELD AND A PIEACE OF DEBRY BLINDING A PASSENGER... WAS A FEW LOUSY DOLLARS WORTH BLINDNESS ???
That is why it is a ticketable offence in most "CARING" states...
MAKE NO MISTAKE N THIS...
THE WIND SHIELD = BRAKES WHEN IT CAMES TO SAFETY , so please do not drive that LETHAL WEAPON with no brakes... hope you feel me and do the right thing...
HAPPY TRAILS
Twelve inches does seem like a long crack. I've got a friend who assumes it's better to go in person to a professional and find out if repair or replacement is better. I'm no expert but that makes sense to me, especially in regards to questions about windshield replacement. http://www.autoglassrepairandreplace.com/auto-glass-replacement
It
can be faulty wiper motor or blown wiper control fuse.
Do
you hear any kind of noise when you starter the wiper function. If yes then
fuse is ok, but issue is wiper motor.
If
no movement at all and no noise then its blown fuse or shorted/loose wiper
control wiring:-----
For
complete troubleshooting i suggest you few helpful links with accurate
solutions.
