Check with your insurance company: there may be zero deductible on
glass replacement, or at least lower than your regular deductible.
My insurance company (CSAA) pays for windshield repairs, but replacement
is a $100 deductible.  I've had one repair, and I'm about to go for
a replacement after getting a stone chip in my main field of vision.
$100 seems like a good deal, because the windshield is getting quite
marked up, and tends to "sparkle" a lot when driving into the sun in 
the late afternoon.  When I checked with the dealer for a price,
they quoted me about $400 for a new windshield...

Also, the insurance company recommends a mobile glass company
(King Glass, probably not a national company) that will come to my 
office to do the work - pretty handy.
