Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM KIA
Reviews
My 2018 Outback needed a new windshield already and Subaru says to use only Subaru OEM glass because it's made for the EyeSight cameras. They say it needs re-calibration also.
Pros: OEM glass made for cameras
Cons: needs re-calibration
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
There are ongoing known issues with Forester windshields being extremely fragile. Unfortunately, they’re also very expensive to replace because the Eyesight has to be recalibrated.
Cons: extremely fragile, expensive to replace
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
A tiny pebble hit the windshield going less than 40 mph on a small road in Montana, cracked the windshield about 8 inches.! The crack spread another 4-5 inches. Was pissed the windshield cracked. Didn't even have 6k miles on the car. Kia supposedly fixed the eggshell windshield problems, but they haven't. The resin on the telluride windshield has finally given up and a new crack has spread out from this initial crack and traveled about 12 inches out from the other crack. Don't even want another factory Kia windshield, want something stronger.!
Cons: cracked easily, poor durability, cracks spread quickly
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 6000 km
When I had my 2015 forester I replaced 4 windshields. First 3 were oem, they seemed to crack pretty easy.
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 2015 Forester and the stock windshield was by far the most easily chipped windshield I've ever had in a vehicle. Seemed to chip much easier than the glass on the 2010 Impreza I had before. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think Subaru glass is that great, at least for my model.
Cons: easily chipped, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The new windshield last 3 weeks before we had to do it all again. Each crack 16” to 20” with no visible impact.
Cons: cracked quickly, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a 2022 OBW. Windshield is absolutely messed up with cracks yet no damage was present. I’m starting to think these windows are decrepit shit pots haha
Cons: messed up with cracks, decrepit quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a 17 outback and have replaced windshield three times already. First when I had less than 1k miles.
Cons: replaced three times
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 1000 km
I had a rock hit the windshield when driving in Los Angeles (right before getting to Disney Land), the next day it was a full blown crack across my entire windshield.
Cons: full blown crack
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The Stinger windshields are notorious for picking up chips. I got 3 major chips in the first 5k miles compared to 1 in 100k+ miles of driving my other vehicles in my urban area where it doesn't snow.
Cons: notorious for chips, 3 major chips
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 8000 km
