State University, Raleigh Lines: 11 One way to stop a crack from continuing is the use of a "crackstopper". This is a technique I know works on steel. A hole is drilled at the base of the crack. This stops the crack. The next task is to try and fill in the hole and the crack. I have seen (on a news show) a technique for filling in small cracks on car windows that the state government here uses. It is cheaper than buying a new windshield. The technique involves the use of injecting clear plastic into the windhshield fault. I hope this has been of some help.
