Reviews
had a large rock destroy the windshield of our Forester with EyeSight. The third-party shop (SafeLite) replaced it with OEM Subaru glass and recalibrated the EyeSight, and for the few months between then and trading it in we had no issues with the EyeSight at all.
Pros: no EyeSight issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have this problem in my cx30! I get incredibly nauseous from driving about 15 minutes. After 5 weeks of going back and forth with Mazda, they agreed to replace it under warranty.
Cons: nauseous, glass distortion
Vehicle:
Mazda
1 year in and car has about 2 noticeable chips, one directly in drivers POV and other in corner of passanger with a splatter effect of chips throughout.
Not sure if it’s the sharp angle or design of the windshield/material… however super disappointing.
Cons: noticeable chips, super disappointing
Vehicle:
Mazda
ABSOLUTELY, I have had my cx5 for two weeks and got hit by two rocks on a road trip, both caused huge cracks in the windshield. I was actually pretty impressed with how fragile the glass is.
Cons: fragile glass, huge cracks
Vehicle:
Mazda
My 2019 CX5 had 3 cracks in the first year. Had 7 in total by the time I replaced it last year at Safelite.
Cons: cracks in the windshield

I’m on my fourth windshield so far. I try to give semi‘s a wide berth and have a respectable following distance, but no luck. Worst was having to replace the windshield twice within a year.
Cons: windshield replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Mazda
The OEM one seems quite fragile.
Cons: quite fragile

My previous car was a ‘21 Mazda 3. The factory windshield was SO fragile in my opinion. Granted I live in AZ where rock chips are extremely common. I had 3 chips that quickly turned into 3 huge cracks within about a 6 month time frame.
Cons: very fragile, prone to cracks
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I've had 2 cx5's and they seem cursed with windscreen chips. First one had a similar sized chip within a couple months of owning, 2nd one had a chip that would fail the MOT, so got it repaired, then a week later got another chip slightly above the repaired spot! Never had a car where the windscreen loves being stoned this much!
Cons: prone to chips, fragile
Vehicle:
Mazda
I’m on like my 5th windshield. I’ve got a split running across half the windshield now that I just have to live with because of these absolutely ridiculously priced windshields that will inevitably crack in less than 30 days after replacing.
Cons: prone to cracking, high price
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
