ANY HELP SOUGHT !!!!
I have a hairline fracture in my windshield.  It is small, but growing. 
Someone told me that they heard of putting some kind of glue a the growth
end.  I don't kow what kind of glue to use !!

I assume it should be (1) rigid like glass, (2) adherent to glass, and (3) 
similar to glass in terms of change due to temperature variations.

Any and all ideas appreciated.  Is glue the right idea ?
