had a large rock destroy the windshield of our Forester with EyeSight. The third-party shop (SafeLite) replaced it with OEM Subaru glass and recalibrated the EyeSight, and for the few months between then and trading it in we had no issues with the EyeSight at all.
Pros: no EyeSight issues
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The aftermarket glass may work well - but I can tell you with great confidence that the OEM glass is much less likely to deviate from what came in your new Subaru.
Pros: OEM glass is better
Cons: aftermarket glass deviates
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have a 19 and have driven 30,000 so far, mostly highway. I’ve had pebbles hit the windows a few times, leaving a small crack once. Smaller than a dime. It’s been at least 6 months and it hasn’t grown at all.
Pros: crack didn't grow
Cons: small crack from pebbles

Subaru Forester
Mileage: 30000 km
I definitely have numerous chips. I thought maybe it was the aerodynamics of the Model S, but it might be the glass.
Cons: numerous chips
When I had my 2015 forester I replaced 4 windshields. First 3 were oem, they seemed to crack pretty easy.
Cons: cracked easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 2015 Forester and the stock windshield was by far the most easily chipped windshield I've ever had in a vehicle. Seemed to chip much easier than the glass on the 2010 Impreza I had before. I guess what I'm saying is I don't think Subaru glass is that great, at least for my model.
Cons: easily chipped, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
The new windshield last 3 weeks before we had to do it all again. Each crack 16” to 20” with no visible impact.
Cons: cracked quickly, poor durability
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I have a 2022 OBW. Windshield is absolutely messed up with cracks yet no damage was present. I’m starting to think these windows are decrepit shit pots haha
Cons: messed up with cracks, decrepit quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback

Cons: chipped, cracked easily

Cons: replaced three times
