FIRST, I WOULD LOOK FOR ANOTHER TYPE OF RESIN.
MAYBE THE RESIN ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH.
ASK THE COSTUMER HOW OLD THE CRACK IS.
THE OLDER THE CRACK IS, THE HARDER IT IS, TO INSURE THE COSTUMER THAT THE CRACK WON'T OPEN AGAIN. DIRT SETTLES IN THE CRACK AND THE RESIN HAS A HARD TIME MINDING TO THE GLASS. YOU CAN ONLY INSURE YOUR COSTUMER THAT IT WON'T SPREAD ANY FURTHER. DRILLING A HOLE AT THE END WON'T STOP IT. THE RESIN WILL. MAKE SURE THE TIP OF THE CRACK FILLS WITH RESIN. THE TIP IS USEALY THE CLEANEST OF THE WHOLE CRACK.
IF YOU CAN STOP THE CRACK FROM SPREADING, THEN YOU SAVED HIM FROM HAVING TO BUY A NEW WINDSHIELD.

The reason your crack repairs don't hold up is because you are using the wrong kind of resin. Chip resin isn't designed to hold a crack together...it doesn't have the tensile strength.
