I have a 22 6MT. I drive the hell out of it and don’t have any issues with windshield chips.
Pros: no chips, durable
Vehicle:
Subaru
Surprisingly no. I’ve had at least a handful of pebbles hit my windshield with no cracks while driving on the highway.
Pros: no cracks, durable
Vehicle:
Subaru
The windshield on the 2020–2025 Kia Telluride features a distinctive design: the center portion at the top of the windshield is lowered, while the two upper corners are raised upward. This unique Telluride design somewhat compromises forward visibility inside the cabin, particularly for drivers with a higher seating position, where the effect becomes more pronounced. Moreover, this sharp-angled configuration is prone to stress concentration, which I suspect may be the reason behind reported cases of the windshield cracking spontaneously without apparent cause.
Pros: distinctive design
Cons: compromises forward visibility
Vehicle:
Kia
Mine barely lasts a few months before a new crack appears.
Cons: cracks frequently, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I had one of those 3 months after I bought my Forester. I tend to believe there's something going on that makes them more prone to it.
Cons: prone to damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
i've been driving my 2023 since july of 2023, and i already have chips and one big crack spreading from the passenger side that will be repaired soon. the constant hot/cold of my area didn't help keep that small. it's annoying that my older car, driven on the same roads as this one, had nothing happen to the windshield, and the newer one can't even look at a rock without chipping.
Cons: chips and crack, prone to chipping
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I got hit by a rock that feel off a bulldozer being towed wayyyyy ahead of me on my Forester thats only a couple months old.
Cons: damaged by rock
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
This happens all the time to my Forester. My belief is the angle of the windshield must make for an extremely weak spot in that area as that’s where most of mine have begun. After the third replacement in less than two years I stopped.
Cons: cracks frequently, weak spot
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
my windshield on my 22 Forester has cracked due to a rock for the 3rd year in a row. Both previous times I have gotten OEM replacements, since I have been paranoid that third party wouldn’t have the Subaru logo. I was not driving fast on the highway and I wasn’t behind a truck. I even have a windshield tint so it’s even more annoying.
Cons: cracked repeatedly, prone to damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I had my first windshield replacement for my '23 crosstrek in April 2024. Just found another crack this morning. I'm over this car, 30 plus years of driving cars and all of a sudden I need two windshields replaced.
Cons: cracks easily, frequent replacement
