Reviews
My windshield was replaced with the windshield from the dealership and it fixed it.
Pros: fixed issue
Vehicle:
Kia
On her 2023 that needed a replacement after the first month? No aftermarket available so it'll be the second replacement again unfortunately.
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I had a Sportage 2023 and kia for the first time and had to replace windshield twice in the one year I Had the car. I drive benz and I get rocks and hit on the glass and never had I ever replaced a windshield on them. I agree these kia windshields are weaker
Cons: replaced twice in year, weaker glass
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Same thing happened with my forte
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Kia
I have a 2023 Sportage SX and got a rock chip within the first month of owning it. Just got another one last month. Both while driving on the interstate. My husband was driving for the second one and didn't even know a rock had hit it, that's how small the rock had to have been. I had 3 Mazda 3's before this and never had any rock chips during those 7 years driving the same roads. I definitely think its the windshield.
Cons: rock chip within month, chips from small rocks
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
I purchased a certified pre-owned 18 Optima in 2020, and maybe months later, a little crack started out of nowhere right at the start of the top of the windshield. Over time, it spread all the way to the bottom in two different directions.
Cons: crack started out of nowhere, crack spread
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Had ours crack in the same week and those Kia windshields are not cheap
Cons: cracked quickly, expensive
My 23 Sportage windshield cracked from the tiniest pebble hitting it. The pebble sound was barely audible. Meanwhile boulders have rained on my 2016 Flex and it’s never left a mark, let alone a crack. The windshield quality on Kia’s are crap.
Cons: cracked from tiny pebble, poor quality
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mines cracked on me within 6 months.... rock smacked it from a stupid truck with after market tires... Not even 24hrs later, whole line through the windshield. One time some large construction vehicle on the opposite side of the road fling something at my shield. It was really weird, my lady was with me, and she was also confused how it happened. it left a scratch on the glass, thankfully it never turned into nothing more.
Cons: cracked within 6 months, cracked quickly
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
This is the 3rd time I’m going to have to replace my windshield this year because you even look at it the wrong way and the glass cracks. Not really, but you’d think the top of the line trim would have glass that is more durable. Never had this issue with any other car I’ve had.
Cons: glass cracks easily, not durable
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
