Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Audi

Cost me $100 co-pay for claim and had brand new OEM windshield installed and calibrated.

Since bunch of sensors in the mirror mount don’t go with SafeLite insurance bootleg glass. Get an OEM glass.

I literally just went to safelite through my insurance company last Thursday to get my windshield fixed on my A5 and I just paid my deductible and it was replaced with an OEM windshield. Easy peasy.

Got my Outback used with 46k miles on it (23 model) and it is completely covered in tiny little chips. They don’t go through but they reflect like crazy when the sun is low. Hate it and strongly considering trying to get a new windshield. Will consider a protection film if I do that. Not bad enough to fail inspection but just one of those things that gets under my skin. Must be weaker glass- never seen that before like this

I currently have a chip in my 25 forester, chipped at ~8k miles. Been waiting for the OEM windshield for a little over a month now and will be about another month before it’s estimated to arrive at the shop. Frustrating process

My original windshield had to be replaced and I got third party glass and even that one chipped right away. Other vehicles I’ve owned and driven on the same roads never have any issues so far.

I owned my 2015 Forester for 10 years and had two windshield replacements. Replaced by Safelite but pricey because of the EyeSight stuff.

I have a 25 sport and chipped mine like a month into ownership, and like you said i didn’t think it was the hardest hit I’d heard.

Personally, I've got 3 chips in mine since February. And I recall the hits — they were almost inaudible and did not seem like a big deal.

Seeing these whenever I drive my almost new car is driving me nuts. But I don't want it to just happen again if I replace the windshield.

2025 Forester purchased in early June already has 2 of these chips. We have never experienced this in any of our past vehicles, including an Outback that was part of the class action class. This is an obvious quality issue.
