Windshield cracks

My clear Lexan windshield is at least 4 years old with many miles of use. The two top stays have a single crack each pointing at roughly 2 o'clock and 11 o'clock. What are my options? Yes, I could buy a new windshield. What about drilling it out and filling with epoxy. Maybe a single small hole at the tip of the crack? They don't appear to be growing over the last few months. Or I could just leave it alone. Maybe a bump would crack it more while I am riding?
Thoughts?

Saw the same thing on my EG a few years back. Thought they would have solved that one by now.

Well at least it is shatterproof, keep an eye on it for sure, you will get tired of looking at it sooner or later and get something new.

I have the same thing going on with my Memphis shades. I just figured it was my own over tightening.I was trying to get my three pouch thingy to stop drooping with my home made reinforcement brackets.
