Windshield OEM Subaru or CARGLASS
Reviews
I recently had my windshield replaced in my '18 OBW with third-party glass. Used a small local glass shop in a medium size town. They calibrated it in their garage and it has been flawless.
Pros: flawless calibration
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
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
Personally, I've got 3 chips in mine since February. And I recall the hits — they were almost inaudible and did not seem like a big deal.
Seeing these whenever I drive my almost new car is driving me nuts. But I don't want it to just happen again if I replace the windshield.
Cons: 3 chips, easily damaged
Vehicle:
Subaru
2025 Forester purchased in early June already has 2 of these chips. We have never experienced this in any of our past vehicles, including an Outback that was part of the class action class. This is an obvious quality issue.
Cons: prone to chipping, quality issue
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I've had lots of issues with it (I've replaced 3 windshields in my first ~21 years of driving and ~10 in 10 years with the subarus with eyesight).
Cons: lots of issues, frequent replacements
Vehicle:
Subaru
J\u00e1 a Carglass n\u00e3o correu bem. O p\u00e1ra-brisas que meteram tem umas ondas. Nada que se note de imediato mas ao mexer ligeiramente a cabe\u00e7a em andamento nota-se logo. Diria que mesmo sendo um p\u00e1ra-brisas Saint-Gobain, est\u00e1 longe da qualidade original.
Cons: umas ondas, longe da qualidade
Man Subaru glasses probably some of the worst I've ever seen. I've owned a WRX since 2020 both VA and VB at this point I wasn't able to get 4 months into my VB before I replace the windshield.
Cons: worst glasses ever
Vehicle:
Subaru
Subaru windshields are crap, really.
Cons: poor quality

The glass quality on Subaru Forester since 2014+ is a shit!.... Subaru windshields are shit.
Cons: poor glass quality, not resistant
