I have Pilkington on my last 2 vehicles. I haven't had any issues with the quality of glass, waves, or rainbowing.
I find that they all vary. Even the 2977. Haven\u2019t run into issues from it though, yet.
I drive my forester for work. I’ve had 2 in the past 2.5 years and have driven them a combined 110k miles. I never cracked my windshield.
I also got a pilkington replacement about 6 months ago. No problems with it, and at this point I entirely forgot.
I've found that its more common with Pilkington than any other brand, but as another said, defects and delamination can happen with OEM parts as well.
Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.
After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.
Yeah Subaru windshields are crap.
We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.
Mine barely lasts a few months before a new crack appears.
