I’ve had my 2018 for over two years and have taken some serious hits on the windshield from gravel and have been surprised it hasn’t cracked.
Owner reviews for windshield
I've got a big rock chip on mine I've been waiting for six months to spread and it won't.
almost 4 years under my belt in this car only one crack (sustained in what can only be described as windshield death valley on I-80 in WY)
Not only is Subaru (Carlex) glass not required, you don't even want it if given a choice. Go for aftermarket glass, Pilkington if you can. Zero issues with eyesight after calibration.
They installed a Benson windshield which is a cheaper Chinese one but it couldn\u2019t be much worse than the original Subaru one \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2642\ufe0f. Had a couple pebbles hit it already and no issues.
21 tundra 1974 edition here and can confirm that its the worst quality glass ive ever owned. I live in florida and have more nicks and scratches then can count. Im amazed it hasnt fully cracked even tho theres a small crack from one of the chips
I’ve replaced the windshield in my Audi twice. Both replacements are inferior compared to the windshield installed from the factory. For example, the first replacement got hit by a rock and pulverized the glass. It put a hole through the glass.
Yes it’s garbage. Besides mentioned problems the quality overall is low: it cooks you inside of you live in southern Europe and it’s not acoustic. It’s way way below Saint Gobain
windshield randomly cracked in the summer heatwave. No impact yet vw refuses to replace it. These are obviously defective. Don't know what course of action is appropriate but I'm not happy.
2024 X5, yes same issue. Replaced due to a rock from a truck that was at least 5 - 7 car lengths ahead of me in the right lane. As soon as I got it back after full replacement it was hit again and cracked on the bottom passenger side. Hard to see since so low. The. My husband drove this past week and also endured a chip. I don’t believe the windshields on these are very durable. I’ve owned many cars/SUVs (we lease and trade regularly every 2-3 years). This has by far been the worst.
