My CX-50 has had no problem with its windshield and I’m a month or two away from the two year mark.
Owner reviews for windshield
I've had my 23 year old MB my whole life and have never had so much as a chip. I've heard loud things hit my windshield plenty of times.
no chips at all on ours.
OEM glass is slightly thicker which is more sound proof so I went that route.
I just got my Impreza windshield replaced with Pilkington after seeing comments in various Subaru subs. The glass is just okay, it has a weird but minor horizontal wavy spot and no idea if it’ll actually be more durable in the long run. It did calibrate fine and EyeSight seems to be working without issue.
Personally, I've got 3 chips in mine since February. And I recall the hits — they were almost inaudible and did not seem like a big deal.
Seeing these whenever I drive my almost new car is driving me nuts. But I don't want it to just happen again if I replace the windshield.
Safelight used a cheap crap grade of pilkington - they said it was OEM, it was not and cracked the first week from a small rock.
2025 Forester purchased in early June already has 2 of these chips. We have never experienced this in any of our past vehicles, including an Outback that was part of the class action class. This is an obvious quality issue.
Same with our 2021 Honda Accord. Our accord we babied and had the windshield repaired 4 times and it was only ever driven on pavement. The windshield cracks when dirt hits it.
Windshield is insanely expensive and seems to crack/chip pretty easy
