Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Audi

Insurance covered for the OEM windshield.

First time I got aftermarket with calibration. Second time I skipped calibration, think it was like $500 and they did the install at my house. Eyesight works fine 2yrs later.

I recently had my windshield replaced in my '18 OBW with third-party glass. Used a small local glass shop in a medium size town. They calibrated it in their garage and it has been flawless.

I own a 2019 OB Touring with six cylinders. I’m the original owner. I’ve had numerous battery issues, but SOA replaced the DCM Module two years ago, and the battery has been working well so far. In April 2025, SOA also replaced my head unit at no cost to me. Additionally, there was a fuel pump recall several years ago. I get service at a local Subaru dealer, and I’ve been happy with their service. However, the windshields broke once from a stone hitting it, and they’re known for having low-quality windshields. So, I have insurance that covers a 50-dollar copay. Fuel economy isn’t the best, but I enjoy driving it and feel safe in it. Overall, I’m pleased with my car, and the biggest problem was my battery issues, which have been resolved for two years.

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...

Owned my 2025 Outback for 6 months. 9K miles. 3 chips already repaired by safelite

We have had to replace our 2017 legacy 2 times and the first time they used a 3rd party windshield and it would not calibrate. They had me call SoA and I was told that they have to use OEM windshields.

Cost me $2000+ for Audi Original. And i wont recommend OEM.

Ive replaced 2 of these in the last 3 months on my RS3. OEM glass at the dealership both times.
