Stone shot on windshield

Hello All,
I noticed that I got a stone shot on windshield (passenger side). It looks small but I read it somewhere that it can turn into a crack and can expand.
What should I do with this?
1. Change the complete windshield?
2. Get it fixed ? If yes then where ?
3. Does insurance company covers this? I am using watercircles.
4 . What can be the price of changing the windshield or fixing it?

Thanks, Swapnil

Fix it as soon as possible!

I had a similar shot as You had and i fixed it the very next morning at carglass (You can use ryds or any other professional firm as well)
The sooner they have a go at it the better.

One of the reasons above the cost of replacing the windshield is the waiting time for a new one, it can take months to get it as I was told by the firm.

Repair it ASAP. It can (and probably will) grow bigger.
Fixing a crack like this is not a big deal as long as it isn't in the driver's view area. In many cases, you will hardly notice it afterwards.
Depending on your insurance, you maybe have to pay a deductible. I have had several cracks repaired without paying anything.

I also use Watercircles and have both fixed a couple of cracks and changed the whole windscreen.
There is no cost for fixing the crack.
Deductible for changing the windscreen is 1500 kr.
