While driving, I found this

I was driving on the way home from a store at the stop light this morning, I noticed my windsheild had a blue line about four inches. I thought it was a string. So I pull my windsheild washer and the line was there. I looked closer, I realized the glass was cracked. I thought, what's the Hell?@!?? Soon as I got home, I went to look closely how did I get a crack, this what I found and it was hard for me to believe it's possible. A speck of chip pit. So I figure it can be repaired. I called glass shop to get an estimate. Soon as I'm ready to take it there, when I got in my car, my glass got worse, it went from a 4 inch line to over 12 inches. I was infuriating that I have to replace the whole thing. The problem is the glass shop around town doesn't have my OEM windsheild due to the fact that I have this black shade around my rearview mirror mount and it has a sensor behind it. I was ticked off. Did anyone had to get their replace, how much did it cost and was it exact Nissan OEM windsheild? Cost is a factor since my deductible is 500 bucks and I don't want to claim it if replacing it cost less than the deduction.

my windshield also has a crack that size. i took my car to CarSpa to get it cleaned, and they told me that they can repair it for $30. they warranty their work, and if the crack shows up again after they fix it, they will replace the entire windshield.

yup, my insurance fixed it for free. The refused to do a Nissan replacement due to the cost, over $600. The OEM replacement runs about $250 for them. Most insurance companies replace the windshield for free. They also replaced the front passanger window for free as well. It got chipped from a rock as well.
