ha ha ha ... 
.. now we're talking ....
Here it goes:
Insurance got cover, good for you ... go and change it as many times as you
want .. and yes ... its always original and its brand new! .. wow .. clear
view and very nice and all .. somemore .. insurance pay for it ..
------- THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK -------
These are the facts that you don't know:
The federal law in US required tests for the windshield itself are the
SAE/ANSI Z 26.1 Tests. Windshield Crack Repair passes these tests. There is
no known injury lawsuit ever from a windshield repair in the 31-year
history of the industry.
Airbag timing - As part of a vehicle's structure, the windshield is a
critical determinant of proper airbag timing. In a crash, an improperly
installed windshield may cause an airbag to deploy too early or too late.
In either case, the safety of the occupants may be compromised.
Airbag retention - On impact the windshield acts as a brace to support the
passenger side airbag. If the windshield separates, the airbag does not
have a constrained space, and it is not effective in protecting the occupant.
The windshield is intended to keep unrestrained occupants inside the
vehicle. In a crash, an improperly installed windshield may fail to hold
and detach from its frame, allowing any passengers in the vehicle to be
ejected, which increases each occupant's chances for serious or even fatal
injuries.
Structural Integrity - The windshield is an important part of a vehicle's
energy management systems, which directs crash energy around the occupant
compartment. If the windshield is improperly installed, the vehicle may
crumple differently than the manufacturer intended, which may jeopardize
occupants.
Rollover Strength - In a rollover accident, the windshield provides
strength by helping to keep the roof from crushing in on any vehicle
occupants. In some model designs, the windshield supplies up to 50% of the
vehicle's rollover strength.
Well .. this are some other facts you wouildn't even know existed, NOT even
your self-proclaimed "sifu" mechanics at your favourite workshop.
Close cut, or short cut : means removing a windshield by cutting as close
to the glass as possible, leaving the original bead of urethane in place.
The installer then puts a new bead of urethane on top of the original, and
installs the new glass.
Most replacements done by our local 'sifu' are Close Cuts = save cost!!!
Full cut : means removing almost all the original bead of urethane after
the glass is removed, cutting as close to the pinchweld as possible and
leaving a very thin layer of the original bead intact. Then a very much
larger bead of new urethane is applied, and the new glass installed.
On all installations, it's critical to re-prime every scratch and every
bare area that has been cleaned that results as installers remove a
windshield and prepare the pinchweld for installation. Only re-priming can
seal the body and provide the best possible surface for bonding again. Any
exposed, unprimed area is a potential rust site.
Urethane Compatibility requires never close cutting on top of a prior
close cut. There are many ways to scratch the pinchweld down to bare metal
when removing a windshield; realistically, it's almost unavoidable, but
re-priming restores the bonding surface and restores the rust protection
that was provided by the manufacturer. It is one of the single most
important aspects of glass installation for the body of the car and the glass.
Critical Data
Installers must know the precise installation procedures required by the
urethane manufacturer whose product they're using, follow those guidelines
to the letter, and document every installation with all aspects of the
installation. These recorded facts, which should be saved for at least five
years, are:
All vehicle and owner data.
Glass manufacturer.
Urethane manufacturer.

I had a tiny crack on my windshield. Got it repaired. Cost RM100. Very
very faint line visible only. BUT.... after a few months...dirt got into
the micro/tiny gap and the transparent resin turned slightly yellow....
brought back to the place... one year guarantee... repair for me... nice
for a while.... then same problem... slightly yellow and more visible....
Conclusion: If got windshield insurance, replace it.
Although this type of thing can repair, can still see mark
after few months.

Depending on the severity of the crack. Small crack, prefer to repair.
What is most annoying is after replacement, there may be a leak and if the
leak is minute, it takes a long time to determine the source. Your
electricals may short circuit, your carpet may get wet and if not dried
fungus may appear.

To ranii:
As for the repair turning yellow, this is called "decolorizing" and this
has got NOTHING to do with dirt getting into the resin after the repair. I
guess you have been mislead. Fact is, after a repair has been carried out,
the resin (liquid) becomes solid and fills the gap which was initially
there. Even if the gap 'reappears', if the was another impact, it will only
look as though it has been cracked again and NOT turning yellow.
To my v.best knowledge, if the cured (hardenned) resin becomes yellow, its
the resin which they use which is inferior and of very poor quality. To
assure our clients that the product we use is of the highest quality, we
give a "LIFETIME GUARANTEE" for as long as you own the car which none of
our competitors dare yet to challenge.
As for me, I got into this business right after I learned my lesson just
like you Ranii, I had the same experience as you did and that got me so
frustrated. So i gave up my luxury 9-5 work life and the high flying
lifestyle to pursue this Windshield Repair. That's why I went for the best
there is out there in the market, The 100% fully computerized Windshield
Repair System in the World, called The Eliminator. I am the only one in
Malaysia with this system and the 1st in South East Asia too!
Just to add, .. Don't GENERALIZE everyone or every product. There are some
who are genuinely out there doing business and there are some who would be
ripping you off too ... so just be cautios with whom you're dealing with.
