Mike R. is infamous around these parts
Is it big enough to warrant a repair? I've got a bunch of little chips from track use. I find that these windshields chip pretty easily. Until it turns into a crack, you may just want to live with it.

Actually a spider web crack the size of a quarter. It looks pretty noticeable.

I had one once years ago and repaired at dealership . Insurance paid 100 percent too .

The positive --no more chip .
The negative -- car smelled like glue for about a month .

Ditto...insurance will usually pay 100% since it could be a safety issue regardless of size OR location

So insurance sent a guy out to repair the crack today and they did a pretty good job except I can still see hair line blemishes. Next question for you guys is should I just go ahead and have the whole windshield replaced or should I just deal with the imperfection? My deductible for this job would only cost $50

It still seems to bother you so for $50 get it replaced (at a shop that does Porsche wind screens).
