Chips/cracks:

I disagree. I live in Alberta where they pile the stones onto the roadways for 6 months of the year(For traction on ice/snow) and I've never had a tougher windshield. Thing has been nailed dozens of times over the past year and have yet to leave a chip/crack. And for the record I've never had a windsheild last longer than 2 months here. (The passat is my 5th vehicle in Alberta) I broke my subaru Windshield the day I bought it! Its ridiculous.....Glass insurance for a year costs more then the windshield

Pros: very tough, no chips/cracks

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

Chips/cracks:

my subaru outback 2010 (way new) got a rock chip which overnight turned into a 3 foot long crack. i called Subaru, they wanted 450 for the glass plus installation. i laughed at them. went to safelight, they used Carlex, with the heated windshield element (option on my car) it was Subaru OEM glass, without the logo, replaced for $350.00. i will use them any day any time.

Pros: Subaru OEM glass, good price

Cons: Subaru expensive glass

Vehicle: Subaru Outback

Chips/cracks:

The Stinger windshields are notorious for picking up chips. I got 3 major chips in the first 5k miles compared to 1 in 100k+ miles of driving my other vehicles in my urban area where it doesn't snow.

Cons: notorious for chips, 3 major chips

Vehicle: Kia

Mileage: 8000 km

Chips/cracks:

I would say the chipping in my 2018 Tesla Model 3 windshield is unlike I have seen from my past vehicles, and extensive.

Cons: extensive chipping

My 2019 Crosstrek developed a crack about 6 months after I bought it, no chips from rocks or anything, I am still dealing with my local dealership to get it fixed almost a year later

Chips/cracks:

I purchased a 2020 Toyota Prius Prime. That October the windshield cracked in half. Just weeks after total windshield replacement, the windshield cracked in half again. Now almost a year later...our windshield is once again cracked in half. Multiple claims for this matter seems to point to a flaw with the car. I own two older Toyota Prius cars and have never needed to replace their windshields but this Prime is somethin’ else. The Toyota rep claims nothing is wrong with the car and they won’t help repair. This will Be the 3rd claim in 16 months of owning the car.

Cons: cracks repeatedly, poor durability

Vehicle: Toyota Prius

Had our 2018 Model 3 windshield replaced recently. Original windshield was perfect with no distortions. New windshield had significant ripples right in the driver's view.

Pros: original windshield perfect

Cons: significant ripples in view
