As long as the crack is only on the one layer of glass there should be no problems lasting another week or so. When I cracked coach top deck screens (about 2metres by 1 metre curved glass- about $1200 fitted in late 1999) I always waited until just before my machinery was due before I replaced it. Your screen should be curved so will be pretty strong even with only the one layer holding.
I am always loath to replace glass in modern vehicles as the screen itself is often an integral part of the stressing of various panels and unless it is done by someone who really understands glass and stress (and I am talking about structural stress here, not the modern day interpretation of being "slightly worried!!") then there is a pretty good chance it will leak in the future. Most stress panels are fitted hot so that they will contract when cooled down and this generally isn't an option when roadside glass fitters do the job.
Best of luck

i know a little about windscreens and car bodies that i picked up as i used to service the graco adhesive/sealant pumps for a couple of vehicle plants when working for apv years ago. is interesting stuff....
it has grown about 100mm since this mornings initial split...
will have fingers crossed....
If you can keep it in the shade the progress of the crack will be minimized.
...and don't turn on the AC, either:(Quote:

O' Briens will replace at your location - I had my RRS screen replaced in October and they did it on my front lawn and it only took 20 minutes.
Also my insurance company (Allianz) replaces like with like and as I still had the original Opticool screen it was replaced with the same - not all screens are the same.
The whole process was quite painless.

your telling me that on a 34 deg day?Quote:
