Call your insurance company most of them will fix the crack for free if it isn't in the drivers field of vision and it is smaller than a dollar. Fix as is put that sealant stuff in it and keep it from wrecking the whole windshield.

Sadly our flat windshields are very prone to this. Like those above me, I say just get it spot fixed or it'll grow and then you will be forced to replace it. Some big car washes offer the service too. I try to stay away from insurance at all costs personally. Never know what they record for blackmailing you on future billing.

Just call the insurance company and they can fix it without replacing the whole windshield ?

I just had safelite repair a chip in my glass, I can still see a little imperfection, but keeps it from cracking all the way.

Yes. It is their attempt to avoid having to replace the whole thing.

Just had a new windshield put in Thursday, it is worth having full glass coverage.
