Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Audi
Reviews
I had the windshield on my S5 replaced a couple years ago and the non Audi brand “OEM equivalent” windshield the shop installed first messed up the image, it was a double image out of focus. When they replaced it with the Audi branded OEM windshield the heads up was good again.
Pros: correct HUD image
Vehicle:
Audi S5
Everything works as expected still, I swear it’s quieter on the highway now too and no leaks…obviously but look I was paranoid of anything less than a precise install.
Pros: works as expected, quieter on highway, no leaks
Vehicle:
Audi Q5
Got OEM glass, no more distortion, much more quiet.
Pros: no distortion, much quieter
Vehicle:
Audi S3
I purchased my 2023 in October of 2022; I have two small chips in my windshield, both occurred within 3 months of ownership. First one was after a month going up a hill into a rocky mountain with very high winds at the time. Second time was maybe 3 months into ownership and it was from on of those large semi trucks carrying gravel lol I’ve been a lot more cautious since but I’ve put off replacing the whole windshield for 2 years.. chips have not gotten any larger but I’m currently in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t fluctuate too drastically so hopefully I can put off a little longer
Pros: chips not growing
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
My windshield split after the most minor rock chip. Subaru is most likely skimping on glass integrity in order to offset the camera cost and functionality. Subaru, for being a brand that models itself off of being an outdoorsy car manufacturer, should do more to either impress upon their customers the vulnerability of the material they use, or come up with a stronger composition in their glass. Definitely the last Subaru I’ll ever purchase.
Cons: splits easily, poor glass integrity

I had the windshield in my 2016 Outback replaced a few months ago at my Subaru dealer. It has now cracked down from the top middle center with no impact. It's a clean break. It's the OEM glass that sucks.
Cons: cracked without impact, poor OEM quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Subaru glass is fragile.
Cons: fragile

Our 2020 Outback just got a crack in the windshield.
Cons: prone to cracking
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I bought a '24 CT in December. Already has 2 cracks/chips. Never had an issue with chips like this with my Honda.
Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
If you live in an area with rocks sprayed for traction at winter, dont bother (unless the crack impairs our vision). Subaru glass blows.
Cons: poor durability, prone to cracking
