Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
The aftermarket glass may work well - but I can tell you with great confidence that the OEM glass is much less likely to deviate from what came in your new Subaru.
Pros: OEM glass is better
Cons: aftermarket glass deviates
Vehicle:
Subaru
I’m on like my 5th windshield. I’ve got a split running across half the windshield now that I just have to live with because of these absolutely ridiculously priced windshields that will inevitably crack in less than 30 days after replacing.
Cons: prone to cracking, high price
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
The OEM breaks very easily.
Cons: breaks very easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Definitely the weakest windshield ive had. I have had the car since Sept and already have like 5 or 6 knicks in windshield and NOTHING on the paint or bumper.
Pros: nothing on paint or bumper
Cons: weakest windshield ive had
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I love the car a 22 outback wilderness and have had for just over 2 years got in September 21 and just had my 5th windshield replaced. This is the first window that isn\u2019t oem so wish me luck.
Cons: windshield replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I bought my venue last Saturday, a week later a tiny pebble hit it on the highway and later noticed a crack. After not too long and it being parked, the crack got noticably longer. I have never in my life had a windshield break like that, ever, let alone for it to just grow.
Cons: cracks easily, cracks spread quickly
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Don't get the OEM glass. That shit is brittle. I made the mistake of going OEM last year and barely made it 7 months before it needed to be replaced again. I'm almost certain the OEM glass would have cracked.
Cons: brittle, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I despise Subaru windshields with a passion. I think they make them from eggshells. NEVER a cracked windshield - in DECADES of driving hundreds of thousands of miles - for any non-Subaru vehicle OR Subaru vehicles without the acoustic glass. But 5 replacements on two cars in past 5 years.
Cons: fragile, frequent replacements
I noticed this summer when I go over bumps, the windshield makes a creaking noise. It's been getting worse and worse. A technician found that basically the bottom 2/3rds of the windshield isn't actually adhered down to the car anymore. It's being held down by the top 1/3 of adhesive and the molding. This is clearly a manufacturing defect since it's the OEM windshield with no cracks or chips.
Cons: creaking noise, not adhered, manufacturing defect
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Mileage: 52000 km
My venue just took the first ever rock to the windshield ive noticed and it cracked about 5” and was 2ft my the morning. Never had one continue to break that far that fast. Probably shitty quality to keep the prices down on the vehicle
Cons: cracks easily, cracks spread quickly, poor quality
Vehicle:
Hyundai
