broken windshield

Hi, I have a small crack on my windshild, no more than 1/4 of an inch. There's 2 small spider webs so far and it hasn't gone full through the glass yet. Do you guys think it's repairable? Or should I just change the whole thing?

I, too, have a couple of cracks on my windshield, but I've just been too complacent to replace it. I am really interested on whether or not your windshield can be repaired or if the entire thing has to be replaced.

I'd get it replaced so it looks good. Even if you get it repaired, it will not hide the cracks completely and you'll know in the back of your mind that it's still there. My

You can replace it or I have seen companies patch up those smaller cracks. But it would be better to change it out as people said.

I understand what everyone is trying to say. But the crack is just so small that maybe I thought I could repair it. I went to a couple of windshield replacement places and they quoted me $200 for a new windshield but I didn't ask if they were OEM. For that price, I really doubt it. Thats why I kinda preferr to repair.

Safelite glass should do both repairs and replacements.

Thanks, I brought it to safelite and the guy did it off the books for $50. The repair looks ok, just a small dot. All the cracks are gone.
