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.
Owner reviews for windshield
My 2021 Tesla has things hitting the windshield. Nothing cracks.
I have Pilkington on my last 2 vehicles. I haven't had any issues with the quality of glass, waves, or rainbowing.
The arguments I used were that the oem glass has a ‘P’ (for Porsche) logo above the glass company’s logo, and that buyers check for that. I also said that I had read that non-oem glass can void the rain sensor warranty.
Pilkington has been slacking lately. They usually are great
Man Subaru glasses probably some of the worst I've ever seen. I've owned a WRX since 2020 both VA and VB at this point I wasn't able to get 4 months into my VB before I replace the windshield.
my 2021 CR-V just got its windshield cracked like this for some reasons, and it's also from Pilkington
I purchased a new 2024 Honda Accord EX in August 2024, yesterday 6-7-2025 temperatures reached 94⁰ in my location, when I got in car around 1:30 pm I noticed a split starting from window frame covering near windshield wipers, once I turn AC on the split increase more that 6 increase which currently is more that 8 inching center windshield.
There hasn't been any rocks or debr hitting windshield.
I've had 2 Pilkington windshields installed. Both have distortion at around eye level. Similar to the sensation of having a bifocal lens.
She's cracked her windshield multiple times, the glass is very thin.
