We took a piece of gravel from a truck that was passing us on I-90 in Montana last year. I was very worried about the size of that windshield and whether or not they would ever get it sealed enough to stop the potential leaks of a replacement. I talked to the insurance company and the strike was not in the 'line of sight' area. They mentioned a repair and hot having to take the windshield out. I said "let's try it". They waived the deductible and patched it. I can see the patch, so it is not invisible and they say it will never spread. That remains to be seen. I am satisfied with the patch in that we have no leak worries and a warranty if the impact does spread.

A repair is the way to go instead of risking a new windshield and getting it installed properly. I went the repair route on my 2000 Ultrasport for a rock chip with about 1" cracks. After about five years it has not gotten worse.
