DOn't think so, they can usually repair a chip by filling it with resin, they can't get the resin into the crack (I could be wrong).

Had the same thing happen to me a couple of weeks ago, the crack got rapidly bigger over a couple of days whilst waiting for the replacement windscreen. luckily it was outside the main vision area.

as above, cracks are replace time.

Also just went through it myself. Hadn't noticed a chip of around 1mm until suddenly there was a 4inch crack in the screen. Easily sorted through insurance though, £75, half an hour's work and half an hour cure time

7mm should repair surely. Got to be worth a try. I got a DIY kit for my van, (2nd crack about 1 month after replacement, 😡 ) as it was right over on the left hand edge. Drilled a couple of little holes with a tile/glass drill and started at that end. Not a perfect job, but it's not getting any bigger now.
