Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Honda
Reviews
I found an independent shop who said they could do it without recalibrating - they were very careful when removing and reinstalling. I never had any issues after with smart cruise, lane keep, etc. They also claimed they didn’t need OEM glass, but we paid extra for OEM in case we needed to get calibrated at the dealer.
Pros: no issues with driver assist, careful installation
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
I got a crack in my windshield the first weekend of driving my Outback in 2017. A huge rock was kicked up on the interstate, I think most cars would’ve had the same result as my car.
Cons: windshield cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I noticed 3 chips in the windshield but I was leaving for a trip the next day so I just let it ride. Traveling through Kansas I guess the windshield took a rock, and a crack formed in a completely different place. The windshield does chip easily.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just had my windshield replaced. A chip turned into a crack sadly.
Cons: chip cracked, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
I think my windshield is more chiped than unchiped at this point.
Cons: excessive chips
Vehicle:
Subaru
My windshield broke 4 months into ownership. Windshield cracked hard but held. Terrified me. Driving home for the next 2 1/2 hours I watch the spider legs widen.
Pros: held initial impact
Cons: broke quickly, crack widened
Vehicle:
Subaru
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
