Windshield OEM Toyota or OEM Subaru
A couple of months ago I had a large tree branch fall as I was driving and land hard on my windshield. I was sure I was going to see cracking as the sound of the impact was incredibly loud. Nothing. Maybe it was because it fell lengthways across the entire windshield that the surface area absorbed the impact?
The oem glass were made cheap, so I used a aftermarket windshield glass on my outback. Best decision I made. It\u2019s been 5 months and I have t had any issues with it.
Had the windshield of my 24 replaced because of a crack, they calibrated it and then had to come out and recalibrate it because it wouldn\u2019t;t registered on the left until I was well in to the oncoming lane. It may self calibrate, but probably poorly.
I got a 2021 Corolla recently coming from a 2010 Prius. Over 8 years I had 1 chip in the Prius. Since November when I bought this car i got two chips and had to replace it already.
We have a 2024 RAV4 we purchased 16 months ago and are already on our third windshield.
My 2019 rav4 is on its 4th windshield (3 replacements). It is the only vehicle I've owned in my 24 years of driving that I've had to replace a windshield on.
My wife got a 2019 Rav4. Needed windshield replaced within first month
Camry 2025, a week in, and I got a small chip in front of me. never had that issue before
Owned 3 weeks, getting replaced Wednesday. I was parked in my garage for a week while I was out of town… came back to a crack (no kids, no pets, nothing from ceiling). Crack almost dead center starting from bottom, no chips or impact marks. Drove to windshield repair place 5 miles away, it had grown. The said it could still be fixed and couldn’t find any impact marks. Made appt for next day, by then crack had tripled in dive just sitting in the garage. Now being replaced with non-OEM glass since OEM glass sucks.
21 venza, i had it about a year, rock hit that spiderwebbed out. cost me about $1600 to replace (skipped insurance). Toyota had to special order it and claimed all the sensors need to be "recalibrated".
about 6 months later new crack, it's small but right smack dab in drivers line of site. It's smallish and hasn't grown so I've sucked it up and have lived with it for now.
If it's growing, i would suck up the replacement, the glass is shit and seems pretty common problem.
