Windshield Tesla or OEM Subaru
Reviews
Had my model 3 done through Tesla. Initial appointment was 50 days out. They contacted me a few days later and said the can do it. OEM glass installed. Excellent job. No issues.
Pros: Excellent job, no issues
Had to have our Tesla windshield replaced last year, but it’s good as new.
Pros: good as new
I purchased my 2023 in October of 2022; I have two small chips in my windshield, both occurred within 3 months of ownership. First one was after a month going up a hill into a rocky mountain with very high winds at the time. Second time was maybe 3 months into ownership and it was from on of those large semi trucks carrying gravel lol I’ve been a lot more cautious since but I’ve put off replacing the whole windshield for 2 years.. chips have not gotten any larger but I’m currently in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t fluctuate too drastically so hopefully I can put off a little longer
Pros: chips not growing
Cons: chips easily
Vehicle:
Subaru
I already have a crack in my windshield. Local Safelite quoted me $1200 (500 replace glass + 700 recalibration).
Cons: prone to cracking, expensive replacement
my wife's windshield cracked once and we got it replaced at Safelite. Then that windshield cracked (and is still cracked currently)
Cons: poor durability, frequent breakage
I have all my documents, including photos of the crack going straight across my windshield. Geico only covered $1,000 of my repair leaving me on the hook for the rest. Insurance needs to catch up with how expensive these repairs are!
Cons: prone to cracking, expensive repair
I just saw mine has a crack this month. I had a similar one in 2023 replaced through insurance in Florida
Cons: prone to cracking, frequent breakage
I had a tiny rock hit the windshield which turned into a monster crack that should not have resulted, and so I'm convinced it was a manufacturing defect.
Cons: poor impact resistance, manufacturing defect
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Had a subaru forester 2020 and had to replace the windshields twice and I believe at that time I paid almost 2500 in total before I upgraded to better insurance. I was always wondering how It kept breaking on me!
Cons: poor durability, frequent breakage, expensive replacement
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
my 22 legacy has had one windshield repair and I have had to fill in 3 tiny cracks the past two years of owning.
Cons: prone to cracking, frequent repairs
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
