Can you put the car in the garage and leave it?

If not, don't run defrosters - the temp changes on the inside vs outside can make cracks grow fast. Try to keep both sides of the glass the same temp if possible. Also, make sure you keep it dry - one guy that came and fixed one of my windshields several years back recommended clear tape over the spot.
