Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM KIA
Reviews
KIA/Hyndai windshields are hot garbage. You should try to add glass coverage on your insurance. I have a $50 deductible on mine and safelite replaced it with an aftermarket windshield that won’t crack. Plus my HUD still works on my SX Prestige
Pros: HUD still works
Cons: windshields are hot garbage
Mine is still holding on well after almost a year and a half despite several roadtrips on I-80 and a particularly terrible drive to Fargo where a couple of gigantic semis were on the opposite end of a milled one-lane road and flung a bunch of stuff on to my windshield.
Pros: holding on well, durable
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Got my Outback used with 46k miles on it (23 model) and it is completely covered in tiny little chips. They don’t go through but they reflect like crazy when the sun is low. Hate it and strongly considering trying to get a new windshield. Will consider a protection film if I do that. Not bad enough to fail inspection but just one of those things that gets under my skin. Must be weaker glass- never seen that before like this
Pros: no chips go through
Cons: covered in chips, reflects sun, weaker glass
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Mileage: 46000 km
My 21 outback went through 3 windows. 4 total before selling.
Cons: poor durability, cracked frequently
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I had one not a week after I bought my 2022 - it seems like Subaru's windshields like to crack and I don't want to be constantly replacing windshields.
Cons: cracks easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp
Cons: prone to chipping, cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.
Cons: chips easily, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.
Cons: prone to chipping, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Yeah Subaru windshields are crap.
Cons: poor quality
Vehicle:
Subaru
We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.
Cons: needs yearly replacement
