I have a 2007 Mustang (V6) that I purchased in late January.

While driving on the highway a few days ago, a rock from a truck driving next to me hit my windshield and left about a quarter size crack/bubble. It isn't horribly noticeable, but was bugging me (to have a crack in the windshield of a new car), so I called to have it replaced (they are coming out tomorrow).

I have a lot of people telling me I shouldn't replace it - that a car's never the same once the windshields replaced. Is this true?

Any opinions appreciated (I never gave it a second thought in my old car, but I absolutely LOVE this car and don't want to create any problems).

Yes definitely replace it because in the winter as soon as you turn the heater on that crack will go all the way across
