        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.
