Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Late to the conversation, but I'll say windshields I've owned that say "Toyota" or "Lexus" have lasted years, but windshields that said FUYAO or Pilkington cracked within a few months.
Pros: Toyota/Lexus windshields last years
Cons: FUYAO/Pilkington cracked quickly
Vehicle:
Lexus IS
I've had my windshield crack on all three of my subarus. Last time I went in last year with my 2020, the guy at safelite told me they are prone to breakage because of the angle they're at. They said they get subs and jeeps the most because of this
Cons: prone to breakage, design flaw
Vehicle:
Subaru
As for weak glass on Subarus? Probably not exactly what you think. IIRC, Subaru has started designing their frames to include the windshield as a structural component. This allows them to have smaller A-Pilars, which have grown to be massive these days. The downside of this is that a rock strike that you would normally brush can grow as the new weak point is challenged by the frame. What causes our windshield replacement was a hit that caused a quarter-sized crack, at the start of a 10 hour road trip. I watched that crack grow to 18 inches over that trip. While thermal expansion and frost could do that on older cars, I’ve never seen a crack grow quite like that.
Cons: prone to cracking, cracks grow rapidly
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
Brand new 24 hybrid corolla cross. Spilt bottom passenger side. They saud the pen hooks, so it's a chip. Less than 2k kms. I've not heard anything hit the windshield. Just driving along and a big spilt forms in the windshield.
Pros: big spilt forms
Cons: spilt bottom passenger side
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mileage: 2000 km
I’m about to replace my 5th windshield on my 2022 Outback. Subaru doesn’t acknowledge anything out of the ordinary. I’ve contacted them multiple times. No impact at all. I park in garage and next day it’s cracked. Totally normal to Subaru.
Cons: cracks appear spontaneously
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
OEM glass is dog shit. I'm on windshield number 5 in 3 years this one has lasted the longest at 7 months.
Cons: poor durability, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback

Pros: no debris, no impact
Cons: windshield just cracked
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Mileage: 5 km
I’m on like my 5th windshield. I’ve got a split running across half the windshield now that I just have to live with because of these absolutely ridiculously priced windshields that will inevitably crack in less than 30 days after replacing.
Cons: prone to cracking, high price
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
The OEM breaks very easily.
Cons: breaks very easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
