It can be repaired...I had a rock bounce off the windshield of my new 2008 XB...A good auto glass shop will have the tool fix a small hole...Seals and almost disappears...
I was/am still bummed out but at least I saved a very exspensive windshield ?
At 500 dollar deductable will not replace if it can be repaired...

Had mine take a small rock hit going down the 210 freeway in Pasadena Calif. Had it fixed a hour later like you said it almost disappears. Cost 55 dollars but the hole will not run. Will see what insurance pays if any.

It's understandable if a rock hits the window, but when you watch the crack start before your eyes while the car is sitting in your driveway, or your on your 6th window in just a few months it's a little more than suspicious.

Don't know if it's worth asking the insurance to pay - they track these things, and I don't want them to put me in a higher claims category for $55.

I just got a crack on the top right hand corner. Came out of the blue, no stone, no nada.
I think there is an issue with these Scions

I don't mean to down play, since the latest miss used buzz words are basically and issue.
But Toyota has no intention of solving this toilet paper front end .
Scion xB's don't have a front end issue, THEY HAVE A REAL PROBLEM !!!

Trust me, the dealership will find a microscopic dot on the windshield crack and blame a stone or such -- and they won't cover it. My dealer just told me it would be about $800 to fix. I am a very disgruntled Scion owner.... and I only have 3K miles on it!!!

I guess this is to all with Windshield problems on a Scion XB 06 or older
scion and toyota know of the problem cracks caused by exess tention on the glass.
There are a lot of people with that problem SO BEFORE YOU PAY FOR THE GLASS TRY TO MAKE SCION OR TOYOTA PAY FOR IT
