I have marked out 1/8th inch and 1/4 inch lines so I can decide by looking at the crack if I want to drill an 1/8th of an inch from the end or a 1/4 of an inch from the end. it will depend on if you can see a hair line off the end of the crack if so then you want to drill a little further from the visible end.
I fix all cracks even ones that go to the edge of the glass, if you don't fill the entire crack you can have problems later. there is trick though. if you have two tools like mine, when you can't use the crack expander, just attach the other tool the glass a close to the crack and lift slightly as you are filling it, that will open it and you can fill all the way to the edge, this also works if the crack is close to the edge and you can't use an expander on those. I think that is what you were asking.
No what I am saying, is that you are using one tool to fill the crack, with the second tool if you have one, you suction it to the glass on the other side of the crack and just lift up on it, so it opens the crack a bit so you can fill it better, but that only works if you have two tools, if you only have one tool and the crack is close to the edge, then you can roll down the window and reach in and push up on the glass with your hand that also works.
I don't to be honest, I use the one because I don't want to be putting a lot of pressure on the windshield, I have seen people using two or three on a long crack and while they are trying to do the repair, because of that much pressure the windshield would end up creating another crack off that one. and going a different direction.
Whats the card you use in the beginning and whats the point of the different spaces

Do you fix cracks that go to the edge? If so, how? So many shops dont fix edge long cracks.

@@ChipHappens-fz1fl by lift do you mean untwist the injector a few turns so its not as tight on the glass?
