Lee -

Looks like Rimmers has it.  Shipping will be high of course, but even with
that probably less than a Jaguar windscreen.

I am told, though I have no experience, that drilling a small hole at
the end of the crack will relieve the stress and stop it from growing.
That's a starting place to search for more info, or, if you have
nothing more to lose...

You would want to use one of the invisible repair kits to seal it once
you drill the hole.

that is what our local glass guy does.  there should be someone in your area
that does glass repair.  or your insurance company should have one.

have you checked - its likely covered under your insurance.

Thanks to all for your help.
I've discovered that TRF has five tinted windshields left over from the
shipment they brought over  a few (?) years ago. Priced at $320, plus maybe
$100 shipping and handling.  I also called Rimmers, where the list price is
$137 (today) but shipping brings that up to $432, and shipping from there
is a bit dodgier you'd think.
So I'm going to grab one from TRF while I can.
And next time we'll do it right!
John
