    If the crack propagates and goes in to the line of sight, it could
    be considered a safety hazard. Otherwise, it is probably only on
    the outside piece of glass.

    JC Whitney sells repair kits. I'm not sure if they are applicable
    to laminated glass. Your local Pep Boys, Trak Auto or Whatever
    probably also carry this. Any auto glass shop can also fix this.)

    Good Luck

    (Is that a US dime or a Canadian dime?)
