Reviews
The aftermarket glass may work well - but I can tell you with great confidence that the OEM glass is much less likely to deviate from what came in your new Subaru.
Pros: OEM glass is better
Cons: aftermarket glass deviates
Vehicle:
Subaru
My 2018 Outback needed a new windshield already and Subaru says to use only Subaru OEM glass because it's made for the EyeSight cameras. They say it needs re-calibration also.
Pros: OEM glass made for cameras
Cons: needs re-calibration
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
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
I have a 2015 Forester and the stock windshield was by far the most easily chipped windshield I've ever had in a vehicle. Seemed to chip much easier than the glass on the 2010 Impreza I had before. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think Subaru glass is that great, at least for my model.
Cons: easily chipped, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The new windshield last 3 weeks before we had to do it all again. Each crack 16” to 20” with no visible impact.
Cons: cracked quickly, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
