Windshield OEM Subaru or Pilkington

Go aftermarket. Pilkington if you have a choice, but any aftermarket will likely be better than OEM (Carlex). Zero issues with eyesight.

For manufacturers, Pilkington and PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works) make the best.

Aftermarket all the way. It's more durable than OEM. If you have an option, Pilkington seems to be the best through various user reports. I went through 3 replacements with my '19 Legacy and aftermarket is definitely better.

Do not replace your windshield with Factory Glass. Get aftermarket glass, preferably Pilkington Glass.

It varies/depends. There are some cheap replacement windshields out there, but in my case, I found one who uses Pilkington glass for my Camry (the OEM supplier), came in at less than half the dealer’s quote, and looks identical to the glass that was on before.

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.

Just replaced my glass after about 29k miles. Subaru glass is either cheap or placed at a bad angle.

My forester XT was WAY worse though because eyesight needs thinner or softer glass

About to be on my third windshield in 3500 miles. First one was a pebble on the highway at 65mph, second was because some asshole drifted into the bike lane and kicked up a pebble around 45 mph. I owned a Legacy GT for 5+ years, doing the same commute as now, and only had to replace the windshield once. Outback owners filed a class action lawsuit against Subaru for their cheap glass.

I've had my windshield crack on all three of my subarus. Last time I went in last year with my 2020, the guy at safelite told me they are prone to breakage because of the angle they're at. They said they get subs and jeeps the most because of this
