Hey guys, so I was a careless idiot and managed to bump something to the back windshield and there appears to be a crack there (from the inside of the car). It seems like it’s started to spread a little and I just don’t know what to do with it. I’m absolutely pounding myself over this stupid mistake…

You can repair windshields some times. You cannot repair the rear glass. Take it to an auto glass shop and ask them about a repair and a replacement. Replacement cost is likely less than you think. Please tell me why you seem to have a issue with a) calling a professional shop and asking or b) sto…

I have no idea what your photo is supposed to show. It seems that you will not be successful trying to repair this your self. I also do not understand why people don’t contact places that do repair and at least have an idea of the cost .

Can’t fix the rear glass. Like the side windows it’s called “popcorn glass” and is made differently from the front windshield. Don’t beat yourself up. Even long time glass experts make them.

I’d try the Nano glass repair system before replacing the windshield. [Windshield Glass Repair Kit] Tester

Capillary action will fill the crack whether gravity works in your favor or not. That’s why water wicks under the cutting board in the counter. Since you have the kit, you might as well try it.

That is not a crack, that is a mark on the glass or on the window tint film. You may be able to remove it with glass cleaner and a cloth. [image] T86yota: I don’t have a drill If you attempt to drill into the glass it will shatter, the rear window is safety glass.

[image] Mustangman: back window… No. The OP is saying the INSIDE glass of the windshield is cracked. Not on the outside glass, where most windshield cracks occur. Tester

The OP said “back windshield”, not back, or inside, of the windshield. Either interpretation could be correct. Well just have to wait for @T86yota to return and explain it.

Look at the title of the post, Tester

It wasn’t clear to me. Never heard of the rear window be referred to as a windshield. It does need clarification.

If it’s the rear class then I concur it can’t be fixed…it needs to be replaced.
