Ask you insurance Company. They may wave the deductible for the window place to fill it.

fill it before it cracks some more, because you dont want to lose your OEM glass.

Most decent insurance companies will cover the cost of fixing windshield dings - call yours now. That crater looks easy to fix - I've seen worse.

This happen to me before while driving at the GSP, a small rock hit the windshield and I immediately saw the crack.

After 15minutes of driving a commercial on the radio came on, it's a commercial for Safelite Autoglass. I called them and ask for a quote and the customer service ask me what my insurance was and I told them it was Geico, the rep gave me a number of Geico and advise me to call them.

When I called Geico they gave me an appointment time and place where I should go, I got the windshield fix absolutely free and waited for about an hour, they had wifi so I had all the time in the world.

So yeah in short call your insurance company and ask if they have a Safelite Autoglass in your area or if they could refer you to one.

call your insurance company, most likely they will cover the repair cost. Do it ASAP because the crack may extends bigger/longer

any auto glass company will repair it for a reasonable price if the total damage is small than the size of a quarter...but yes. call your insurance company it may be covered
