Re: why is getting a cracked fixed so difficult?
sarygirl,
If you post a location I'm sure there's somebody on this forum that will chime in. A new 6" crack shouldn't be a big problem for a tech that has been trained to perform them. Where is the crack located on the shield?

Re: why is getting a cracked fixed so difficult?
Sarygirl,
Here in WV a 6" crack will not pass inspection if it is at all visible eventhough it has been repaired...Here 3inches is the limit if the crack in in the path of the wipers, 6inches outside the wiper path.Also,please ill out your user profile. It is easier to answer you question specifically if we know where you are from.

Re: why is getting a cracked fixed so difficult?
The sad fact is many shops use repair as a bait and switch for a new WS. If I did replacements I probably would too! That said, a 6" crack is usually repairable! I love 6" cracks.

Re: why is getting a cracked fixed so difficult?
first of all, thanks for responding. i'm located in fremont,ca. And the crack is about an inch from the bottom of the ws, so i guess it would be in the line of the wipers.

Just curious to find out, who told you clear nail polish would stop a crack? I've ran into customers before that applied this method and when asked, normal response was usually a grand parents suggestion! Good Luck!

Clear nail varnish. Everyone knows only red works.
