Should I just replace the windshield (breaking the factory seals) or repair it (while waiting to get more chips and cracks before replacing it) ?
Might be repairable at that size. In the UK, if it's less than 10mm or not in the driver's direct view you don't have to get it fixed legally. It's then just down to how much it annoys you. I would get the whole thing replaced if it was right in front of me (doesn't cost much to do on insurance here)
