Sorry its CR-79. download it and save it and you’ll have your very own Inspection regulation book. BTW it states in section 79.21 under cracks Reject if: “any star larger than 3” in diameter is located in any area of the windshield. There is a crack more than 11" long any part of whiich extends into the wiper path" ---
