Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Mazda

My 2016 has NEVER cracked nor chipped...

I have a 22 6MT. I drive the hell out of it and don’t have any issues with windshield chips.

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

Unfortunately the quality of the OEM glass is horrible and I had them replace it again. The replacement was just as bad so at this point I've given up on getting a windshield free of distortion.

Our 2020 Outback just got a crack in the windshield.

I bought a '24 CT in December. Already has 2 cracks/chips. Never had an issue with chips like this with my Honda.

If you live in an area with rocks sprayed for traction at winter, dont bother (unless the crack impairs our vision). Subaru glass blows.

My 2025 forester windshield got cracked already with only 3000 miles on it.

I already have a crack in my windshield. Local Safelite quoted me $1200 (500 replace glass + 700 recalibration).

my wife's windshield cracked once and we got it replaced at Safelite. Then that windshield cracked (and is still cracked currently)
