Thanks Neal

I highly doubt it would. I'd wait until you get back home, i.e. near end of trip and then replace. Last year I had a crack most of my journey, returned home, later went out again for the replacement.

Agree. We have driven thousands of miles with long cracks. There is zero chance of your windshield collapsing. Replace at your leasure.

I was wandering what about the magnets on the Magneshade? How did you place them in the same spots on the new windshield?
Maybe a trip to their shop is in the fut?

You'll need to remove them, suggested to use spacers or put them on a cookie sheet, etc. After replacement you'll have to reinstall the magnets. Not hard to do. Take a picture if needed but I typically put up the top left and right big magnets, that will hold up the shade, then I put the other inside magnets in place, go from there. If needed ask Magneshade for installation instructions if you didn't keep them. I've done it too many times now, not hard.

You will need more adhesive that goes on the magnets, the cylene spray or whatever it's called, strong Isopropyl Alcohol and maybe 0000 steel wool pads if you need to remove any wax or stuff on outside of windshield where outside magnets go.
