Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

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.

Concerns are kind of valid but in my case, I have 60k km on my 2021 Outback and have not even a nick and my other two Subarus had busted windshields within the first year. The touchscreen might not be the fastest in the industry but it's not horrible day to day and I use it a ton with Android Auto.

Just got a rock chip on my 2025 Ascent with only 2400 miles. We weren't anywhere close to the car in front of us so we don't even understand how it happened. On the edge of the black area around all the camera stuff. Heading to get it repaired now so it hopefully doesn't spread. Wish us luck.

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.

Same with our 2021 Honda Accord. Our accord we babied and had the windshield repaired 4 times and it was only ever driven on pavement. The windshield cracks when dirt hits it.

I've had lots of issues with it (I've replaced 3 windshields in my first ~21 years of driving and ~10 in 10 years with the subarus with eyesight).

Back in 2014, I had just gotten my New Honda City VX variant, petrol.\nCracked my windshield a total of 5 times over a period of 3-4 years.

Man Subaru glasses probably some of the worst I've ever seen. I've owned a WRX since 2020 both VA and VB at this point I wasn't able to get 4 months into my VB before I replace the windshield.

I purchased a new 2024 Honda Accord EX in August 2024, yesterday 6-7-2025 temperatures reached 94⁰ in my location, when I got in car around 1:30 pm I noticed a split starting from window frame covering near windshield wipers, once I turn AC on the split increase more that 6 increase which currently is more that 8 inching center windshield.

There hasn't been any rocks or debr hitting windshield.
