Bought a Newport windshield over the net and when it arrived UPS it was cracked in two pieces down the right corner. :( It is a clean break. What is the best way to repair this?

Return it!

The shipper can file a claim with the shipping company. You should not have to repair it, not your fault.

You can bond it, but the repair would be visible.
Send it back.

This is an original windshield. Lucky I found this one. The crack is on the curve so it is not super visible. Lines up nice, just got to find a way to bond the two pieces together. Any other ideas?
