Windshield - fix or replace?

Stone chips get repaired. Starbursts smaller than 2" at their largest point get repaired. Small cracks can often be stopped from growing through a repair but normally cannot be what I consider "repaired". Your crack is long past terminal.

OE glass may be cheaper than you think but do not expect it to have the exact same "shading" area that your current windshield has. Often those types of things are market specific and the OEM glass is going to be stocked to cover as many years and as many markets as possible with one piece of glass.

Final option, and one I do not suggest, is find someone who will install a junkyard windshield. I do not suggest it because even with serious polishing, it is still 20+ year old pitted and chipped glass.
