Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Volkswagen

Had my Tiguan for 3 years with no issues. Never had anything hit my windshield.

I’ve had my 2018 for over two years and have taken some serious hits on the windshield from gravel and have been surprised it hasn’t cracked.

I had the same problem with the plastic piece that attaches to the windshield on my ‘16. Took to the dealership. All was good. Glue from the factory isn’t that good.

My windshield split after the most minor rock chip. Subaru is most likely skimping on glass integrity in order to offset the camera cost and functionality. Subaru, for being a brand that models itself off of being an outdoorsy car manufacturer, should do more to either impress upon their customers the vulnerability of the material they use, or come up with a stronger composition in their glass. Definitely the last Subaru I’ll ever purchase.

I had the windshield in my 2016 Outback replaced a few months ago at my Subaru dealer. It has now cracked down from the top middle center with no impact. It's a clean break. It's the OEM glass that sucks.

Our 2023 ID.4 Pro S AWD is on the 4th windshield since Oct 2023. All 4 have been OEM glass. The last one is horrible … distortions.

Subaru glass is fragile.

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.
