Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Volkswagen

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.

I drive my forester for work. I’ve had 2 in the past 2.5 years and have driven them a combined 110k miles. I never cracked my windshield.

Just replaced the windshield on our brand new 2025. Took a rock a couple days after buying it. My insurance subs all glass claims to Safelite Solutions, but gave me the option to use whomever I wanted. Since the car was new, I wanted official Subaru glass on it, so I went with the dealer.

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

I just got my Impreza done a few months ago and it was about a $1k total for glass, install, and calibration, although I used aftermarket glass which fits a bit different.

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.

Our 2019 Forester is the only car I’ve driven since 1967 that’s had a chip in the windscreen develop into an 18”

Long crack over a couple of hours of driving at 65mph. Had 5 different pre-eyesight models the have done similar country running over many years and no issues like that ever occurred. Seems like an eyesight issue to me.

Ive owned my 25 Forester Wilderness 1 month now. 1 week in passing vehicle kicks up a tiny rock and I get my first rock chip. Then a week later merging on highway I get 2 more little ones on lower left of windshield.

Two days into owning my 2025 my wife noticed a small crack on the INSIDE of my new Forester. Fast forward two months I take the car on my first longer road trip. First day of the trip I catch a rock to the middle of the windshield and have a pretty bad chip.

I currently have a chip in my 25 forester, chipped at ~8k miles. Been waiting for the OEM windshield for a little over a month now and will be about another month before it’s estimated to arrive at the shop. Frustrating process
