Fortunately, most windshields are not made of tempered glass, so they crack rather than shatter like tempered glass.
My Hurricane has a small crack in the lower left corner I would much rather live with it, rather than take a chance on a new windshield that leaks. As my coach doesn't have airbags and the crack does not effect my vision, I am more than happy to live with it.

How small is the crack on yours? This one is about 12-13 nches. How many miles have you driven yours with the crack?
We have a trip planned this weekend and my wife would love to still go.
