Windshield OEM Subaru or CARGLASS
Reviews
yep the OEM is weak af. I went to a local shop and paid $325 in Chicago. Works great, eyesight works perfectly, and glass is much stronger.
Pros: glass is much stronger, works great
Cons: OEM is weak
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I got my windshield repaired 2 weeks ago in switzerland and you can still see the dent, it looks like a small hole and the guy from Carglass said that its normal it stays like this, they dont replace the whole windshield when its a small dent, they repair it instead
Cons: dent still visible
I'm on my 3rd windshield and this one is cracked now too with tons of rock chips. All OEM glass. 40k miles, 2 years of ownership. Subaru has notoriously soft and thin glass windshields.
Cons: cracks easily, soft glass, thin glass
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 40000 km
It is the first car I had that ever got a chip in which lead to a growing crack.
Cons: chips easily, cracks grow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Within the first 6 months of having my 2022 Crosstrek, I had two chips that needed to be filled so they didn't spider. Definitely chips more easily than other cars, at least from my experience.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
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

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
