What's the easiest way to stop the crack from spreading? I was thinking just apply superglue to the crack now? It's about an inch long now.

This is a 2010 truck so I'm not too conrcmed with the beauty of the job, more so just getting the crack container easily

You might try the same trick used on Kydex holsters that are cracking - drill a small hole at the very end of the crack. The idea is to spread the tension so that the crack won't continue. After that I'm sure you could patch w/ some sort of adhesive.

Yes gmc. This however isn't the crack in the dash everyone gets by the airbag. That occurred several years back and was fixed under warranty. This new crack is closer to the windshield.

There is a 2 part bumper epoxy that I would use. Drill a small hole in each end if you can, use a razor blade to widen the channel of the crack a bit, fill with epoxy, sand and shoot a little plasti dip.
