My wife's Prius windshield got hit with a small pebble and it left a small crack, less than the size of a dime. I am considering having it repaired at SafeLite for $59.99 to prevent the crack from spreading. They tell me that they cannot guarantee the repair because if the windshield gets hit again in the same area, this might cause the old crack to spread. I know I should be posting this on Prius Chat but since I have a Civic Hybrid and frequent this forum I hoping somebody might have experienced something like this, and give me some advise.

The same company quoted me 364.13 for a replacement. Considering my insurance deductable is $500.00 this will all be out of pocket ouch! If I go the replacement route, I will probaby ask a dealer to replace and pay my 500.00 deductable since I know it will be more than this. SafeLite tells me that most Insurance Co. waives the deductable for repair, my insurance co is with State Farm.

Just happened today and my wife said all they heard was something hitting the windshield. The closest car they were following was 4 car lenghts ahead of them.
Pity I just had both cars tinted too!

I hope the Civic's windshield is sturdier, I have experienced some hits on my windshield so far it has not cracked it.
