Few years back I had the same thing. My insurance covers crack repair a no charge, so I went that route. Wasn't really happy with the result...the crack didn't spread and was unnoticeable at arms length BUT from inside the repair caused light to become somewhat prismatic and driving with the sun on the windshield was just distracting. After a few months, I called my insurance back and asked about options. They said I could have the window replaced, but I would have to pay the deductible....a whopping $100. Wish I knew this before I even dealt with a repair. As an FYI, the shop doing the work will probably want to use an aftermarket windshield, but when I asked how much an OEM would cost, it was the same (out of pocket) price...umm, that was a no-brainier. Just FYI.
