Best Windshield for Subaru Outback

Concerns are kind of valid but in my case, I have 60k km on my 2021 Outback and have not even a nick and my other two Subarus had busted windshields within the first year. The touchscreen might not be the fastest in the industry but it's not horrible day to day and I use it a ton with Android Auto.

Get aftermarket, it's superior. I've had my fair share of replacements and aftermarket held up much better. Pilkington is the brand you want if given a choice. Zero issues with Eyesight.

We’re on our 4th windshield for a ‘22 OBW. The third window, about 6 weeks after that, we switched to Pilkington and that’s lasted about 70k miles - so far. It has a bunch of pings that we think would have done in an OEM.

Definitely get aftermarket windshield. Pilkington is the one you're looking for, they're much stronger than OEM glass and eyesight works perfectly

Got my Outback used with 46k miles on it (23 model) and it is completely covered in tiny little chips. They don’t go through but they reflect like crazy when the sun is low. Hate it and strongly considering trying to get a new windshield. Will consider a protection film if I do that. Not bad enough to fail inspection but just one of those things that gets under my skin. Must be weaker glass- never seen that before like this

On her 2023 that needed a replacement after the first month? No aftermarket available so it'll be the second replacement again unfortunately.

I had the windshield in my 2016 Outback replaced a few months ago at my Subaru dealer. It has now cracked down from the top middle center with no impact. It's a clean break. It's the OEM glass that sucks.

Our 2020 Outback just got a crack in the windshield.

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.

I’ve had 2 windshields replaced within 6 months in 2021.
