Windshield Tesla or OEM Subaru
Reviews
I’ve only had my MY about 4 months now but living in Arizona I’m use to going through a windshield once per year in each of my vehicles. Tesla replaced it for $0 with OEM, next day service, took about 3 hours.
Pros: next day service, OEM
Tesla’s service is unmatched. I have the windshield warranty and got a crack in my windshield. It cost me a $100 deductible to repair it.
Pros: low repair cost, good warranty
Just got a rock chip on my 2025 Ascent with only 2400 miles. We weren't anywhere close to the car in front of us so we don't even understand how it happened. On the edge of the black area around all the camera stuff. Heading to get it repaired now so it hopefully doesn't spread. Wish us luck.
Cons: rock chip, happened unexpectedly
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 2400 km
My original windshield had to be replaced and I got third party glass and even that one chipped right away. Other vehicles I’ve owned and driven on the same roads never have any issues so far.
Cons: chips easily, cracks easily
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I owned my 2015 Forester for 10 years and had two windshield replacements. Replaced by Safelite but pricey because of the EyeSight stuff.
Cons: two replacements, pricey
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I have a 25 sport and chipped mine like a month into ownership, and like you said i didn’t think it was the hardest hit I’d heard.
Cons: chipped easily, low impact
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Personally, I've got 3 chips in mine since February. And I recall the hits — they were almost inaudible and did not seem like a big deal.
Seeing these whenever I drive my almost new car is driving me nuts. But I don't want it to just happen again if I replace the windshield.
Cons: 3 chips, easily damaged
Vehicle:
Subaru
2025 Forester purchased in early June already has 2 of these chips. We have never experienced this in any of our past vehicles, including an Outback that was part of the class action class. This is an obvious quality issue.
Cons: prone to chipping, quality issue
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Windshield is insanely expensive and seems to crack/chip pretty easy
Cons: expensive, cracks easily, chips easily
I've had lots of issues with it (I've replaced 3 windshields in my first ~21 years of driving and ~10 in 10 years with the subarus with eyesight).
Cons: lots of issues, frequent replacements
Vehicle:
Subaru
