Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Called one and they worked it to get an OEM windshield through my BMW dealer and installed themselves. HUD, collision and rain sense all working as before. No issues.
Pros: HUD, collision, rain sense working; no issues
had a large rock destroy the windshield of our Forester with EyeSight. The third-party shop (SafeLite) replaced it with OEM Subaru glass and recalibrated the EyeSight, and for the few months between then and trading it in we had no issues with the EyeSight at all.
Pros: no EyeSight issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I despise Subaru windshields with a passion. I think they make them from eggshells. NEVER a cracked windshield - in DECADES of driving hundreds of thousands of miles - for any non-Subaru vehicle OR Subaru vehicles without the acoustic glass. But 5 replacements on two cars in past 5 years.
Cons: fragile, frequent replacements
i called bmw for a new windshield on my e60. 1400 in labor and 1400 for the windshield.
Pros: null
Cons: expensive labor, expensive windshield
Vehicle:
BMW
Hopefully you have better luck than I did. Had similar crack in a brand new 5 series(the car was only a few months old when it happened)and they wouldn\u2019t cover it. I had to go through my insurance and pay a small deductible. No other company did OEM BMW windshields in my area so I had to go the same dealership to get it done. Cost was around $2500
Cons: crack not covered, expensive replacement
Vehicle:
BMW
Subaru glass is trash. There's no way anyone in their right mind would ever use another subaru windshield if they weren't forced to. The OE windscreens have fine debris or bubbles or something in them that makes them look like they have been sandblasted for 200k highway miles when they're brand new. It's actually dangerous when driving into the sun. And this is the case on every one of their models. Subaru glass is total trash.
Cons: trash, dangerous, sandblasted look
Vehicle:
Subaru
I just think their windshield is shit.
Pros: insurance covers deductible
Cons: windshield is shit
My BMW X5 windshield broke on the way home from the dealership. These windshields, or the construction of the car and the pressure on the glass is a huge problem. Folks all over the internet with the same issues.
Cons: prone to breaking, quality issue

My outback right now is cracked.
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I had a rock thrown and couldn't see where it hit because it was right under a wiper blade. Next morning after sun hit it, the fucking crack was 2' long in every direction. Didn't even have a chance to get a repair... Place that replaced it, couldn't get the eyesight to calibrate, so had no cruise control for a month as they waited for an OEM to replace the replacement. Dropped it for replacement and 4 hours later they said, we got it to calibrate, no need to replace. three months later, another rock and shattered. They seem fragile as fuck.
Cons: fragile, shattered easily, calibration issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
