Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Volvo
Reviews
I’ve replaced three Subaru windshields via safelite with no recalibration and everything works fine with the cameras and sensors.
Pros: everything works fine, cameras and sensors
Vehicle:
Subaru
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 a 19 and have driven 30,000 so far, mostly highway. I’ve had pebbles hit the windows a few times, leaving a small crack once. Smaller than a dime. It’s been at least 6 months and it hasn’t grown at all.
Pros: crack didn't grow
Cons: small crack from pebbles
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 30000 km
The OEM breaks very easily.
Cons: breaks very easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
3 windshields the first 2 years of my Volvo xc90, then none the next 3
Pros: none the next 3
Cons: 3 windshields the first 2
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
I love the car a 22 outback wilderness and have had for just over 2 years got in September 21 and just had my 5th windshield replaced. This is the first window that isn\u2019t oem so wish me luck.
Cons: windshield replaced multiple times
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
The glass on the SPA and CMA chips and cracks easily. I'm extremely cautious with my shield. I just hit 60k and so far have one chip that I filled immediately. I know many people that do two shields a year.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Volvo
Mileage: 60000 km
Within the first 2 weeks of receiving my car, while driving on the highway, I heard a pop noise on my windshield. A few hours later, A small hairline crack developed from the edge of my windsheild, and has since extended halfway across my windshield.
Cons: pop noise, hairline crack, crack extended
Vehicle:
Volvo
Don't get the OEM glass. That shit is brittle. I made the mistake of going OEM last year and barely made it 7 months before it needed to be replaced again. I'm almost certain the OEM glass would have cracked.
Cons: brittle, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
