Owner reviews for windshield

Pilkington is usually made better in my opinion. Any manufacturer can have issues including OEM. For my vehicles I use Pilkington, its the closest to OEM.

Pilkington is my favorite but they’ll all work, just looks nicer/ more hydrophobic at first

Just replaced the windshield on our brand new 2025. Took a rock a couple days after buying it. My insurance subs all glass claims to Safelite Solutions, but gave me the option to use whomever I wanted. Since the car was new, I wanted official Subaru glass on it, so I went with the dealer.

Had our 17 forester's windshield replaced and the eyesight recalibrate afterwards. Oem subaru windshield. They didn't tighten the rear view mirror back on though. Took a sec to do that myself.

I have 9800 miles on my 2025, I currently have 1 chip from a small rock that struck the windshield while doing 70 on I-95.

my windshield on my 22 Forester has cracked due to a rock for the 3rd year in a row. Both previous times I have gotten OEM replacements, since I have been paranoid that third party wouldn’t have the Subaru logo. I was not driving fast on the highway and I wasn’t behind a truck. I even have a windshield tint so it’s even more annoying.

Pilkington glass. I went through two windshields for no reason at all. Worst deductibles I’ve ever had to spend on.

the windshield on my 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE needed to be replaced and I decided to go through Glass America to get it done. Unfortunately, I've had to take it three times now as each windshield has had somewhat significant distortion.

I had my first windshield replacement for my '23 crosstrek in April 2024. Just found another crack this morning. I'm over this car, 30 plus years of driving cars and all of a sudden I need two windshields replaced.

My windshield split after the most minor rock chip. Subaru is most likely skimping on glass integrity in order to offset the camera cost and functionality. Subaru, for being a brand that models itself off of being an outdoorsy car manufacturer, should do more to either impress upon their customers the vulnerability of the material they use, or come up with a stronger composition in their glass. Definitely the last Subaru I’ll ever purchase.
