Default newbie questions

Hi, I'm new to this. Hopefully not too dumb of questions. :o

1) I have a crack in the bottom of the front windsheild, will driving around make it worse?

2) Does anyone know if a 84 or 86 front window will fit on a 96? I think 84-96 was the same body style, but I am not sure if they are exactly the same.

any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

If it doesn't terminate on 2 sides, like corner to bottom, it'll get worse and spread. Shouldn't matter though, because it sounds like the windshield is done anyway.

Pretty sure the older windshield will fit. #2nd yes vote here.

Mines cracked on the bottom too. In a second it spread all the way across and there was nothing i could do.

Insurance is $400 but it isn't in the way for right now so i'm leaving it.

If i got it repaired does the glass company replace the weatherstrippning around it too? b/c thats about the cost of the window itself.
