Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM KIA

I just put a windshield in my 2023 outback it cost me $1,250 from Subaru with calibration Safelite wanted $1,300 with calibration

I purchased my 2023 in October of 2022; I have two small chips in my windshield, both occurred within 3 months of ownership. First one was after a month going up a hill into a rocky mountain with very high winds at the time. Second time was maybe 3 months into ownership and it was from on of those large semi trucks carrying gravel lol I’ve been a lot more cautious since but I’ve put off replacing the whole windshield for 2 years.. chips have not gotten any larger but I’m currently in Southern California where the temperature doesn’t fluctuate too drastically so hopefully I can put off a little longer

My windshield cracked last week smh

I just got a Subaru Crosstrek 2019 and literally over the week a 3 inch barely noticeable crack appeared on my windshield. The crack came out of no where, wasn’t there on Thursday and is there now, noticed it Sunday :/

We had a '16 Forester XT and went through like 4 or 5 windshields in 7 years before we sold it. At one point we didn't even get the tape off the prior install and it broke again from highway rocks. It was ridiculous.

Got a big crack right in back of the rear view mirror, between the EyeSight cameras.

Subaru windshields are awful.

Subaru glass is the worst I've ever had.

Just a heads up on my 2020 Impreza I learned the OEM glass was not the best. I went through 2 OEM glass windshields. After that I said throw in 3rd party and after that it never broke again.

We went on a trip in the new car and everyone felt that the heat rejection from the windshield isn't impressive or nearly as good as the Baleno. The Baleno, in my experience, cuts out 90%+ of the heat from direct sunlight falling on your body and the Seltos is at maybe 30%.
