Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Honda

Had our 17 forester's windshield replaced and the eyesight recalibrate afterwards. Oem subaru windshield. They didn't tighten the rear view mirror back on though. Took a sec to do that myself.

when i bought my car, i paid 450 for a warranty that covers the windshield, it uses OEM glass replacement. I used said warranty probably 6 months into owning my new ridgeline and new OEM glass+install etc was $1787. Was the only time i felt like i bought something that is usually a rip off, that was totally awesome.

Yes. The glass is weak - our last forester was a disaster until it finally cracked but I swear we would get chips driving down the road constantly

Yeah Subaru windshields are crap.

We get new windshields every year here in northern BC.

Mine barely lasts a few months before a new crack appears.

I had one of those 3 months after I bought my Forester. I tend to believe there's something going on that makes them more prone to it.

i've been driving my 2023 since july of 2023, and i already have chips and one big crack spreading from the passenger side that will be repaired soon. the constant hot/cold of my area didn't help keep that small. it's annoying that my older car, driven on the same roads as this one, had nothing happen to the windshield, and the newer one can't even look at a rock without chipping.

I got hit by a rock that feel off a bulldozer being towed wayyyyy ahead of me on my Forester thats only a couple months old.

This happens all the time to my Forester. My belief is the angle of the windshield must make for an extremely weak spot in that area as that’s where most of mine have begun. After the third replacement in less than two years I stopped.
