Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Mazda
Reviews
No VW experience, but did have to replace the windshield on a 2016 Mazda 6 with all of the driver aids/cameras/sensors...same as the Golf R w/ DAP. I went with a local Novus guy who had good reviews. He's an owner/operator and did a great job. My insurance paid for an OEM windshield since the car was less than 18 months old.
Pros: OEM windshield, great job
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
I despise Subaru windshields with a passion. I think they make them from eggshells. NEVER a cracked windshield - in DECADES of driving hundreds of thousands of miles - for any non-Subaru vehicle OR Subaru vehicles without the acoustic glass. But 5 replacements on two cars in past 5 years.
Cons: fragile, frequent replacements
I had my windshield replaced on my CE ‘21 cx9 and lost my auto sensing rain wiper functions and auto lights functions. I keep trying to get the dealer to fix both but they are unsuccessful in both attempts.
Cons: lost auto sensing functions
Vehicle:
Mazda
Subaru glass is trash. There's no way anyone in their right mind would ever use another subaru windshield if they weren't forced to. The OE windscreens have fine debris or bubbles or something in them that makes them look like they have been sandblasted for 200k highway miles when they're brand new. It's actually dangerous when driving into the sun. And this is the case on every one of their models. Subaru glass is total trash.
Cons: trash, dangerous, sandblasted look
Vehicle:
Subaru
I just think their windshield is shit.
Pros: insurance covers deductible
Cons: windshield is shit
My outback right now is cracked.

Cons: cracks quickly
Vehicle:

I had a rock thrown and couldn't see where it hit because it was right under a wiper blade. Next morning after sun hit it, the fucking crack was 2' long in every direction. Didn't even have a chance to get a repair... Place that replaced it, couldn't get the eyesight to calibrate, so had no cruise control for a month as they waited for an OEM to replace the replacement. Dropped it for replacement and 4 hours later they said, we got it to calibrate, no need to replace. three months later, another rock and shattered. They seem fragile as fuck.
Cons: fragile, shattered easily, calibration issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
There are ongoing known issues with Forester windshields being extremely fragile. Unfortunately, they’re also very expensive to replace because the Eyesight has to be recalibrated.
Cons: extremely fragile, expensive to replace
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
When I had my 2015 forester I replaced 4 windshields. First 3 were oem, they seemed to crack pretty easy.
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
