Windshield OEM Subaru or OEM Volvo

First highway trip on my 2018 XC60, got a chip on the windshield. Replaced by the dealer with $500 deductible.

My 2015.5 V60, I replaced my windshield several times. The shop wouldn't let me get a 3rd party glass, only a Volvo branded windshield. The shop even disputed with the insurance when they wanted to use 3rd party glass due to the safety features.

I have 9800 miles on my 2025, I currently have 1 chip from a small rock that struck the windshield while doing 70 on I-95.

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.

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.

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