Crosstrek 4-cyl

  • 200 miles
I have had 6 rock chip since I have owned this car. I drive mostly highway miles to and from work. It seems any slightest hit to the windshield will cause a chip. In all the vehicle I have owned other than this I have only had 4. out of 8 other vehicle. I would have to say that something isn't correct with how they made this windshield. My 1981 and 1986 Subaru's that I have owned I never got a chip in the windshield. And I put more miles on them that my current 2018 Crosstrek. My first chip was at about 200 miles and then from there just down hill. I dread the sound of something hitting the windshield. At times I am afraid the windshield is just going to shatter.
