You didn't say which piece of glass has the crack. If it is the windshield and your car has not been in a wreck (that might have left a bit of distortion in the windshield frame), it will probably not grow. At least that has been my experience with small windshield cracks in my '82 300D.

Regarding the kits, I have not had very good luck with them. In spite of following the instructions carefully, I still had some distortion through the glass. Not a problem if it isn't in your line of sight.

Maybe someone with more windshield experience will add more.

Cheers,
wes

As the temp's fluctuate the crack will grow until it goes accross whatever is cracked. Replace cracked glass, if you have glass coverage your insurance company will pick up the bill.
