Reviews
14K miles here, road-tripped across US once and commute 5 days a week about 40 minutes. No cracks or chips yet since 2023.
Pros: no cracks, no chips
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 22531 km
I just put a windshield in my 2023 outback it cost me $1,250 from Subaru with calibration Safelite wanted $1,300 with calibration
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I got a cx 30 used 2022 this year as well and I had already claimed the chip and windshield protection within a few months of owning the car due to one chip that turned into a crack, so far with Safelite tho it's holding up now
Pros: repair holding up
Cons: chip turned into crack
Vehicle:
Mazda
So on our 2019 we are now on our second replacement windshield. The first one was NOT OEM and we could tell. The HUD was fuzzy with a second mirrored image behind it, the lane detection was not as good, and in bright head on sunlight all the safety features would shut off due to the glare.
Pros: demanded OEM glass
Cons: HUD fuzzy, glare issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
The optical quality of the Mazda branded glass is absolute trash. Major waves looking to the right and straight ahead is like looking at distance through reading glasses. This Mazda stamped glass is so bad it's a safety issue. Additionally, there were issues getting the camera calibrated; the lane keeping basically didn't work at all after replacement and is still not 100%.
Cons: poor optical quality, major waves, calibration issues, safety concern

Mazda
I’ve replaced 5 windshields on my 2015 Forester ! It even looks at a rock and it cracks.
Cons: poor durability, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Subaru glass is terrible.
Cons: terrible quality
Windshield protection plan is mandatory for me and it’s probably going to be a cycle of new windshields until engineering can thicken them without compromising eyesight visibility. Between the car lot and DMV I was chipped. Any car with such camera input output capabilities seems to have weak ass windshields
Cons: weak, chips easily, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
My 2024 Sport is 7 months old and several chips keep appearing. My 2013 Outback never had windshield pits as bad as this one.
Cons: chips easily, pits easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
I noticed 3 chips in the windshield but I was leaving for a trip the next day so I just let it ride. Traveling through Kansas I guess the windshield took a rock, and a crack formed in a completely different place. The windshield does chip easily.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
