A coworker had one of the mobile windshield repair outfits come to repair
her corvette windshield while she was working.   She had a rock chip /
bulls-eye fracture just below and to the left of her field of vision.   As
soon as they put the suction cup on and pressurized the epoxy the windshield
cracked clear to the pillor.
Its worth a try though.   I have had it done several times successfully.
If you plan to own a Vanagon long term you better get used to the idea of
windshield replacement.
