A couple of months ago I had a large tree branch fall as I was driving and land hard on my windshield. I was sure I was going to see cracking as the sound of the impact was incredibly loud. Nothing. Maybe it was because it fell lengthways across the entire windshield that the surface area absorbed the impact?
Pros: durable, absorbed impact
Vehicle:
Subaru
The oem glass were made cheap, so I used a aftermarket windshield glass on my outback. Best decision I made. It\u2019s been 5 months and I have t had any issues with it.
Pros: no issues after 5 months
Cons: oem glass made cheap
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I had the same problem with the plastic piece that attaches to the windshield on my ‘16. Took to the dealership. All was good. Glue from the factory isn’t that good.
Pros: dealership fixed it
Cons: factory glue not good
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The windshield is by far my biggest complaint. My first week of owning it I got a nice big rock chip. My first winter I guess a small rock got stuck in the wiper and made a 5 inch scrape. My old Subaru’s windshield seems so much more durable.
Cons: chips easily, scrapes easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
I’m on my third windshield on my 2019. It’s the only part about it I’ve had to spend money on really.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
I now have a 2024 crosstrek and the windshield cracked within the first 6 months too. This time it was a tiny pebble that hit right on the edge of the passenger side A pillar. They must use very brittle glass.
Cons: cracked easily, brittle glass
Vehicle:
Subaru
Now have a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness and 2 days after I got it I found a chip in the windshield. I would say yes, the newer ones chip easier but that’s just my experience so far.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just noticed a small chip in my current Crosstrek (2021). Prior to owning a crosstrek, I’ve never had even the SLIGHTEST amount of damage to my windshield.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
2022 Sport at 15k miles and the windshield has a few noticeable chips. It is only rarely driven on the interstate. It does seem unusual considering my Tesla Model 3 with 30k miles does not have a single noticeable chip.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 15000 km
EyeSight-enabled Crosstrek windshields are larger than typical and have far less curvature; therefore, they’re more vulnerable than otherwise.
Cons: more vulnerable
Vehicle:
Subaru
