haha yea debris flew right under that windshield wiper...as long as they dont see it and whoever replaces it wont snitch then i guess im okay if i try to get insurance to cover it.

Typically a good shop can repair a crck as long as 6 inches with no issues. Some shops will say they can't in order to get you to replace the windshield. However, as long as the crak is not in the field of vision, a reputable shop will almost always attempt the repair prior to replacing it. I checked on the cost of the windshield....about $230 thru safelite.
