Windshield OEM BMW or OEM Subaru

Forester pros: great Cargo space(same as a utility truck), high of the ground, very big windshield with little visibility problems

For my X5 M comp I go with the ultimate tire/wheel, windshield, ext maintenance (5 not 7). Curb rash one rim and you make it back… WS replacement from crack is the same. BMW glass has gotten softer and more prone.

First road trip the window developed a stress crack with no sign of impact on/near the crack. Dealership took pics and submitted to Subaru. They decided to cover a new windshield under warranty (as they should).

I have a 2025 Forester , had to replaced windshield within the first 2 months of owning the vehicle. Waited 2.5 months for a windshield and now I have a small Crack only god knows how. Ridiculous.

In my very recent experience, Subaru glass is caca.

Mine was delaminating with 38k miles Subaru replaced it even though I was out of the warranty time period

Subaru glass is really thin especially if you have eyesight. Not good in a low car but it is what it is.

i wish i knew forester windshields chip and crack easily. my 24 forester limited has 26k miles on it. there's three large chips in the windshield and hundreds of small flecks missing.

I finally went aftermarket for the battery and windshield replacement that last time and they did seem like upgrades. If you're having issues, don't go back to OEM replacements given that they're garbage.

The windshield cracked on its own on mine. No impact just cracked...
