Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

Insurance covered for the OEM windshield.

My previous Accord coupe had its original windshield replaced with an aftermarket one after a minor collision. The car's camera for lane departure and collision avoidance wouldn't work properly with the aftermarket windshield, even after calibration. A Honda Service Bulletin confirmed the need for genuine Honda OEM windshields. After replacing the aftermarket one with a genuine OEM Honda windshield, and calibrating the camera, the driver assist warnings worked perfectly. I insist on a genuine Honda OEM windshield!

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).

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

the OEM wind shield on my 2023 ridgeline is the worst of any car I have had. In the first year I had 4 minor chips and one large chip that spread all across the window.

I had OEM glass just installed in a Honda and it has a mean distortion towards the far passenger side edge. Luckily it’s not in my line of sight and I can live with it. But yeah, even OEM sucks. I feel like overall quality has gone down on glass. The replacement glass got a chip in it two weeks later (got it filled).

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.

Wife has a crack in her 2025 Forester before her first payment. It has continued to grow and she is on the waiting list for a windshield. Several hundred ahead of her. Something is amiss with the glass

23 Forester driving in Alaska/yukon, 22,000 km in, 5 chips so far. I’ve bought several of the chip repair kits in preparation for more.
