  If you get it repaired within a few days of the crack occuring, the repair
will be nearly unnoticeable. I did this to my car, and it doesn't look too
bad, although I did wait close to a week to get it done. Repairing is a good
bit cheaper than a new windshield, and many places will let you apply the
cost of the repair to getting a new windshield installed if you're not
satisfied with the repair. I think my windshield repair was around $40.
Of course you can only repair it if its a fairly small crack, so it may not
apply to your situation, but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.
