Chips/cracks:

Got my Outback used with 46k miles on it (23 model) and it is completely covered in tiny little chips. They don’t go through but they reflect like crazy when the sun is low. Hate it and strongly considering trying to get a new windshield. Will consider a protection film if I do that. Not bad enough to fail inspection but just one of those things that gets under my skin. Must be weaker glass- never seen that before like this

Pros: no chips go through

Cons: covered in chips, reflects sun, weaker glass

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

Mileage: 46000 km

Chips/cracks:

Yes. The glass is weak - our last forester was a disaster until it finally cracked but I swear we would get chips driving down the road constantly

Cons: weak glass, constant chips

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

First time I got aftermarket with calibration. Second time I skipped calibration, think it was like $500 and they did the install at my house. Eyesight works fine 2yrs later.

Pros: Eyesight works fine

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

I just got my Impreza done a few months ago and it was about a $1k total for glass, install, and calibration, although I used aftermarket glass which fits a bit different.

Pros: glass, install, calibration

Cons: fits a bit different

Vehicle: Subaru Impreza

I finally went aftermarket for the battery and windshield replacement that last time and they did seem like upgrades. If you're having issues, don't go back to OEM replacements given that they're garbage.

Pros: aftermarket upgrades

Cons: oem replacements garbage

I recently had my windshield replaced in my '18 OBW with third-party glass. Used a small local glass shop in a medium size town. They calibrated it in their garage and it has been flawless.

Pros: flawless calibration

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

We have had to replace our 2017 legacy 2 times and the first time they used a 3rd party windshield and it would not calibrate. They had me call SoA and I was told that they have to use OEM windshields.

Pros: OEM windshield calibrated

Cons: 3rd party not calibrate

Vehicle: Subaru Legacy

Wife has a crack in her 2025 Forester before her first payment. It has continued to grow and she is on the waiting list for a windshield. Several hundred ahead of her. Something is amiss with the glass

Cons: crack grew, long wait
