Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Mazda
Reviews
Last time I had a windshield replaced by Safelite, they used OEM glass from Mazda. I had to go to my dealer to calibrate the safety systems, but that was before they started advertising that they can now do that.
Pros: OEM glass used
Cons: calibration needed dealer
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mine cost me $1117 to replace and it cracked in that same spot! I wanted an oem one so that’s why I cost that much!
Pros: oem replacement
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Mazda
Got a chip in the second week after I bought my 2023 CX5. It was so frustrating, I was passing a slow truck and it had just rained and there was some gravel on the road. The rock was huge though, so I think that was the major issue. I have had small rocks hit the windshield but they did not have any impact.
Pros: resistant to small rocks
Cons: chipped by large rock
Vehicle:
Mazda
Just had my windshield replaced. A chip turned into a crack sadly.
Cons: chip cracked, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru
I think my windshield is more chiped than unchiped at this point.
Cons: excessive chips
Vehicle:
Subaru
My windshield broke 4 months into ownership. Windshield cracked hard but held. Terrified me. Driving home for the next 2 1/2 hours I watch the spider legs widen.
Pros: held initial impact
Cons: broke quickly, crack widened
Vehicle:
Subaru
I'm on my 3rd windshield and this one is cracked now too with tons of rock chips. All OEM glass. 40k miles, 2 years of ownership. Subaru has notoriously soft and thin glass windshields.
Cons: cracks easily, soft glass, thin glass
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 40000 km
It is the first car I had that ever got a chip in which lead to a growing crack.
Cons: chips easily, cracks grow
Vehicle:
Subaru
Within the first 6 months of having my 2022 Crosstrek, I had two chips that needed to be filled so they didn't spider. Definitely chips more easily than other cars, at least from my experience.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
The windshield is by far my biggest complaint. My first week of owning it I got a nice big rock chip. My first winter I guess a small rock got stuck in the wiper and made a 5 inch scrape. My old Subaru’s windshield seems so much more durable.
Cons: chips easily, scrapes easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
