Default DIY didn't work for me

I had a small chip in the lower right hand corner of my windshield. Since it was out of sight I ignored it, but then a crack started growing from it. I watched the youtube videos and ordered the recommended DIY Kit. It seemed to work for a few months, but then the crack started growing again.

I ended up taking it to Safelite and they replaced the windshield. Since my car is old (my wife drives the newer one), I only carry liability insurance, so it ended up costing a little less than $300.
