Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Mazda
Reviews
I went through 3 windshields before they agreed to pay for OEM because the HUD was blurry or to high or never would get level. Once we got an OEM it was perfect.
Pros: HUD perfect, level display
Vehicle:
Mazda
Safelite got me OEM didn't have to pay much since Geiko covered it. I only paid 50 bucks. Safelite are certified in calibrating. Well it rained in California and sensors work perfectly the same as before.
Pros: sensors work perfectly
Vehicle:
Mazda
We've owned several Mazdas for the last 10-15 years. We had one windshield crack after being hit by a rock from a passing truck. After years of use, we've had no issues with cracked windshields.
Pros: durable over years
Cons: cracked by rock
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’m on my third windshield on my 2019. It’s the only part about it I’ve had to spend money on really.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
I now have a 2024 crosstrek and the windshield cracked within the first 6 months too. This time it was a tiny pebble that hit right on the edge of the passenger side A pillar. They must use very brittle glass.
Cons: cracked easily, brittle glass
Vehicle:
Subaru
Now have a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness and 2 days after I got it I found a chip in the windshield. I would say yes, the newer ones chip easier but that’s just my experience so far.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just noticed a small chip in my current Crosstrek (2021). Prior to owning a crosstrek, I’ve never had even the SLIGHTEST amount of damage to my windshield.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
2022 Sport at 15k miles and the windshield has a few noticeable chips. It is only rarely driven on the interstate. It does seem unusual considering my Tesla Model 3 with 30k miles does not have a single noticeable chip.
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 15000 km
EyeSight-enabled Crosstrek windshields are larger than typical and have far less curvature; therefore, they’re more vulnerable than otherwise.
Cons: more vulnerable
Vehicle:
Subaru
This windshield chips and gets pits more easily than anything I’ve ever driven. I hate it. I keep a windshield repair kit on hand at all times.
Cons: chips easily, pits easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
