Contact one of those mobile windshield repair companies. They might be able to do it.

Also, check out your local glass shop / home repair center. There are a couple "do it yourself" repair kits.

There will be stresses in the glass, which could turn into a crack/shatter at any time. Another knock, severe temperature change, undue pressure, any number of things could trigger the failure.
If the damage is fairly high up perhaps you could cut round the fault (removing the stressed area) and fit an exhaust fan or some other useful device in the hole. Or just plug it.
But on the other hand it is probably cheaper to replace the window and be safe.

Hmm... i assume it particularly is a double pane window? If its glass (mine are plastic), than you will could replace it. The upkeep are low fee and straightforward. Your community Lowe's or domicile Depot can help. in simple terms faucet out the remainder glass and only insert a sparkling one in its place. For destiny refference although, you're able to purchase a plastic masking which you roll on, and stick to, your window. that is going to circumvent minor punctures and stop glass from shattering and cracking. different than that, tell your mothers and dads. we've all broken one a pair of times, it is not so undesirable.

Try a car window repair kit. It usually involves injecting a clear epoxy in a vacuum created at the surface of the window around the chip.

You can make it so it doesn't leak, but that about it. The glass has been compromised and nothing you can do will change that. Even if you repair it, the tensile strength is gone. It could shatter at any time.
