I've got a bit of an impact-crack in the front-left of my Model X windscreen. It's two cracks at about a 135 degree angle, 1cm long on each side of the centre.
Autoglass will repair it for £210 or thereabouts. The excess on my Direct Line policy is £25. Autoglass are Direct Line's preferred repairer. When they did a repair on our Renault Zoe that was quite near the edge of the windscreen they warned that it might shatter the whole thing, and it did.
A few questions that kind-hearted souls may wish to help me with:
Thumb included for scale.
Thanks in advance!

A few questions that kind-hearted souls may wish to help me with:
- If I get Direct Line to handle it, will they push up my premium? It won't affect my no-claims bonus, but I'm sure I've read that they'll still keep it on record and use that as an excuse to put the price up.
- If I _don't_ tell them about it first, and the windscreen shatters when Autoglass try to repair it, will Direct Line then refuse to cough up for the replacement?
- How painful is getting a replacement Model X windscreen these days? Tesla have said about a grand, but I'm worrying that the lead times might be redonkulous.
