Enlarging a crack in car windscreen

[Claire_ 10]

Hi guys. Ive got a crack that has started to get bigger and bigger over the last few days. Ive decided to have something done about it so ive got a man coming round tomorrow to fix it but in the mean time i thought id have some fun. As its getting fixed/replaced i decided to try and make it as big as possible so ive been going down every bumpy road i can find until either the crack goes the whole way or my suspension gives up but its not doing it as fast as id like so can any of you good people recommend a road where i can get my crack made bigger?

Thanks guys

I presume you mean in a windscreen?

 

If you make it too big it wont be fixable and then you will have to pay for the new screen to some extent.

 

It's also illegal to drive with an excessivly cracked screen, and it it does suddenly go you may not end up with glass all over the place but you could suddenly find it difficult to see properly through it as well

Yes, Its on my windscreen. As i say its getting fixed/replaced tomorrow o i want to see how big i can get it.

The crack is on the passenger side and behind the sun visor so i cant even see it yet. It was a passenger who pointed it out to me.

And for the reasons listed above it's not an especially smart idea.

I fully understand that. Perhaps someone has a private road or some private land i can do it on?

That way theres no danger to anyone else.

1st thing tomorrow morning, when it's still frozen: boil your kettle, then pour it on the windscreen

 

I expect this would be safer than driving on a road (wherever) and having the windscreen shatter whilst you are underway.

 

Naturally, I will decline any and all responsibility for whatever happens as a result, should you be stu...curious enough to actually go through with it.

The autoglass lady said even if my screen goes ill be perfectly safe as its laminated. Is this not the case then?

[L00b 441]

Sure.

 

I mean it's well known that cars are designed to be driven at speed with 'safe' bits of windscreen falling all over your lap, knees, feet <etc.> rather than hitting you in the face first, right?

When it was nice and small it could have been repaired, probably at no cost to yourself though your insurance*. If it has to be replaced you'll probably have to pay the excess.

* worth checking whether it effects your no-claims.

Repaired windscreens are rubbish. I'd rather pay the excess and get a new one. You wouldn't believe the difference it makes looking through new glass compared to one that has been sandblasted by 10,000 miles of motorway driving.
