Windshield Tesla or OEM Subaru
Reviews
My 2021 Tesla has things hitting the windshield. Nothing cracks.
Pros: durable windshield
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.
Pros: never cracked, durable
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 110000 km
I've also had 3 windshields on the car and am about to file a claim for a 4th due to an irreparable chip growing into a huge spiderweb over the last 9 months.
Pros: replaced windshields
Cons: windshield chips easily
I had one of those 3 months after I bought my Forester. I tend to believe there's something going on that makes them more prone to it.
Cons: prone to damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
i've been driving my 2023 since july of 2023, and i already have chips and one big crack spreading from the passenger side that will be repaired soon. the constant hot/cold of my area didn't help keep that small. it's annoying that my older car, driven on the same roads as this one, had nothing happen to the windshield, and the newer one can't even look at a rock without chipping.
Cons: chips and crack, prone to chipping
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I got hit by a rock that feel off a bulldozer being towed wayyyyy ahead of me on my Forester thats only a couple months old.
Cons: damaged by rock
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
This happens all the time to my Forester. My belief is the angle of the windshield must make for an extremely weak spot in that area as that’s where most of mine have begun. After the third replacement in less than two years I stopped.
Cons: cracks frequently, weak spot
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
my windshield on my 22 Forester has cracked due to a rock for the 3rd year in a row. Both previous times I have gotten OEM replacements, since I have been paranoid that third party wouldn’t have the Subaru logo. I was not driving fast on the highway and I wasn’t behind a truck. I even have a windshield tint so it’s even more annoying.
Cons: cracked repeatedly, prone to damage
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I had my first windshield replacement for my '23 crosstrek in April 2024. Just found another crack this morning. I'm over this car, 30 plus years of driving cars and all of a sudden I need two windshields replaced.
Cons: cracks easily, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru
My windshield split after the most minor rock chip. Subaru is most likely skimping on glass integrity in order to offset the camera cost and functionality. Subaru, for being a brand that models itself off of being an outdoorsy car manufacturer, should do more to either impress upon their customers the vulnerability of the material they use, or come up with a stronger composition in their glass. Definitely the last Subaru I’ll ever purchase.
Cons: splits easily, poor glass integrity
Vehicle:
Subaru
