Reviews
I opted for OEM replacement glass to ensure nothing fucky happened to Blue Cruise and related features. The Safelite tech will recalibrate the sensors when done to ensure everything functions as expected. Overall, installation was quick and I'm going on over a year with the new windshield and it's been no trouble.
Pros: functions as expected, no trouble, quick installation
Vehicle:
Ford Mustang
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
We had gotten a chip on our 2018 ford explorer and that thing didn’t budge/spread at all! 2 years after it happened, many road trips later and it never got bigger.
Pros: chip didn't spread, durable
Vehicle:
Ford Explorer
Just got a rock chip on my 2025 Ascent with only 2400 miles. We weren't anywhere close to the car in front of us so we don't even understand how it happened. On the edge of the black area around all the camera stuff. Heading to get it repaired now so it hopefully doesn't spread. Wish us luck.
Cons: rock chip, happened unexpectedly
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 2400 km
23 Forester driving in Alaska/yukon, 22,000 km in, 5 chips so far. I’ve bought several of the chip repair kits in preparation for more.

Our 2019 Forester is the only car I’ve driven since 1967 that’s had a chip in the windscreen develop into an 18”
Long crack over a couple of hours of driving at 65mph. Had 5 different pre-eyesight models the have done similar country running over many years and no issues like that ever occurred. Seems like an eyesight issue to me.
Cons: chip became long crack, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Ive owned my 25 Forester Wilderness 1 month now. 1 week in passing vehicle kicks up a tiny rock and I get my first rock chip. Then a week later merging on highway I get 2 more little ones on lower left of windshield.
Cons: 3 chips in 1 month
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Two days into owning my 2025 my wife noticed a small crack on the INSIDE of my new Forester. Fast forward two months I take the car on my first longer road trip. First day of the trip I catch a rock to the middle of the windshield and have a pretty bad chip.
Cons: crack on inside, bad chip
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I currently have a chip in my 25 forester, chipped at ~8k miles. Been waiting for the OEM windshield for a little over a month now and will be about another month before it’s estimated to arrive at the shop. Frustrating process
Cons: chip at 8k miles, long wait
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 12875 km
My original windshield had to be replaced and I got third party glass and even that one chipped right away. Other vehicles I’ve owned and driven on the same roads never have any issues so far.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
