Default Inspection question -- Windshield cracks

My Suburban has two cracks in the windshield, just line cracks, not stars or anything. They do not intersect. They are on the passenger side coming up from the bottom, I'm not sure of the exact height but less than halfway up the windshield. One starts from the outside bottom corner of the PS, the other from the inside edge of the PS windshield wiper approximately. Probably some defect, as it was installed back in December or January and there's no rock chips.

After reading the inspection laws, I can't tell if these will pass or not.

7. There is a pit, chip, or star crack larger than 3/4 inch in diameter at any location in the windshield above the topmost portion of the steering wheel except the two-inch border at the top and the one-inch border at each side.

8. At any location above the topmost portion of the steering wheel excluding a two-inch border at the top and one-inch border at the sides there is:

a. Any crack over 1/4 inch in width.

b. Any crack 1/4 inch or less in width intersected by another crack.

c. Any damage area 3/4 inch or less in diameter if within three inches of any other damage area.
None are over 1/4" in width (They're just straight lines), and they don't intersect, and I don't believe they ever get within 3" of each other (Not sure though). I'm inclined to say they will, and it'd be nice if they would because it expires this month, but I'd rather be late than have to deal with a failed sticker.

Thanks guys
