Reviews
Had our 17 forester's windshield replaced and the eyesight recalibrate afterwards. Oem subaru windshield. They didn't tighten the rear view mirror back on though. Took a sec to do that myself.
Pros: OEM Subaru windshield
Cons: mirror not tightened
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I had distortion on my original windshield which may have resulted in my windshield being cracked within the first year. Hard to say. I got hit with a good sized pebble on a road trip. I replaced with OEM again no noticeable issues with this oem replacement.
Pros: no noticeable issues
Cons: distortion, cracked quickly
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just got my Impreza done a few months ago and it was about a $1k total for glass, install, and calibration, although I used aftermarket glass which fits a bit different.
Pros: glass, install, calibration
Cons: fits a bit different
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.
Cons: needs yearly replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mine barely lasts a few months before a new crack appears.
Cons: cracks frequently, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I had one of those 3 months after I bought my Forester. I tend to believe there's something going on that makes them more prone to it.
Cons: prone to damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
i've been driving my 2023 since july of 2023, and i already have chips and one big crack spreading from the passenger side that will be repaired soon. the constant hot/cold of my area didn't help keep that small. it's annoying that my older car, driven on the same roads as this one, had nothing happen to the windshield, and the newer one can't even look at a rock without chipping.
Cons: chips and crack, prone to chipping
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I got hit by a rock that feel off a bulldozer being towed wayyyyy ahead of me on my Forester thats only a couple months old.
Cons: damaged by rock
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
This happens all the time to my Forester. My belief is the angle of the windshield must make for an extremely weak spot in that area as that’s where most of mine have begun. After the third replacement in less than two years I stopped.
Cons: cracks frequently, weak spot
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
my windshield on my 22 Forester has cracked due to a rock for the 3rd year in a row. Both previous times I have gotten OEM replacements, since I have been paranoid that third party wouldn’t have the Subaru logo. I was not driving fast on the highway and I wasn’t behind a truck. I even have a windshield tint so it’s even more annoying.
Cons: cracked repeatedly, prone to damage
Vehicle:
