Owner reviews for windshield

I find that they all vary. Even the 2977. Haven\u2019t run into issues from it though, yet.

I drive my forester for work. I’ve had 2 in the past 2.5 years and have driven them a combined 110k miles. I never cracked my windshield.

My 2002 Toyota is perfectly unharmed...

Safelite replaced mine and yes, they will use a factory Ford windshield. Took them less than an hour which included a quick drive to reset the sensors. I've had zero issues since the replacement.

My wife had to have the windshield changed on her 2024 after a fairly minor rock chip spread into a substantial crack overnight. The OEM on her CR-V is Pilkington, who supplies a lot of auto glass industry-wide. Our insurance didn't allow for OEM glass, so we just made sure the glass shop used Pilkington. The aftermarket windshield hasn't cracked yet, but within a few weeks, another rock hit left a series of defects in the glass (not really chips, but very superficial nicks). Guessing Pilkington just isn't producing a particularly good product, whether it's white label for Honda/Acura or as an aftermarket supplier.

I’ve had my 2015 for just under a year and I’ve had a chip filled and then the whole windshield replaced due to another unrelated crack I got driving on a freeway on ramp

Got four chips in the first two weeks of owning it. Thankfully insurance covers it, but it blows my mind that it happened so easily. I keep a good distance from cars ahead of me, especially since I live in Nashville.

After replacing my windshield twice within 5 years, I tends to believe the angle of 2019 Forester windshield makes it prone to chipping, following or not following the vehicles in the front.

Yeah Subaru windshields are crap.

We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.
