Rudy,
Been there--done that. In one case, it was a dime sized hole in my window.
I took it to a winshield glass shop and they told me that they would not
be able to do a quickie repair since the hole went thru the entire
windshield. In the other case, they were able to repair the small chip in
the windshield. I doubt if they will be able to do a quickie repair on
your windshield. My advice is to take it to a company that specializes in
windshield repair and ask them if they can do a quickie repair. If not,
you will eventually need a new windshield. If money is an issue--just get
an estimate and have the windshield repaired when you are able to pay for
it.
