Call your insurance first. Some insurance companies will have the windshield repaired without you paying anything extra. They rather pay for repair than future replacement if left alone.

Here in Florida, insurance companies are required to include $0 deductible windsheild replacement for residents. No need to repair (as you will always be able to see it), just replace.

Had my C6 five hours when a rock hit my windshield putting a nice "star" with two 4mm "legs" in it. Had that star repaired and three other rock "pits" filled and polished all for $48. Can't tell it ever happened. My recommendation would be to go the repair route.
