vs
Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Concerns are kind of valid but in my case, I have 60k km on my 2021 Outback and have not even a nick and my other two Subarus had busted windshields within the first year. The touchscreen might not be the fastest in the industry but it's not horrible day to day and I use it a ton with Android Auto.
Pros: no nicks, touchscreen usable
Cons: touchscreen not fastest
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 60000 km
I ended up going through a local glass company, and they sourced OEM glass from BMW. The replacement went perfectly.
Pros: perfect replacement
Vehicle:
BMW
Yes. The glass is weak - our last forester was a disaster until it finally cracked but I swear we would get chips driving down the road constantly
Cons: weak glass, constant chips
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp
Cons: prone to chipping, cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.
Cons: chips easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.
Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Yeah Subaru windshields are crap.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.
Cons: needs yearly replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mine barely lasts a few months before a new crack appears.
Cons: cracks frequently, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I had one of those 3 months after I bought my Forester. I tend to believe there's something going on that makes them more prone to it.
Cons: prone to damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
