The original windshield of my Forester suddenly cracked while parked a few months ago. My insurance fully covered the repair. The replacement aftermarket windshield from safelite only lasted a few more months before it too got chipped from a small pebble hit and needed repair. The third windshield was defective and finally, the fourth time, I got an oem windshield installed which is still intact. I incurred no costs due to insurance but this is very aggravating! it's hard to get a reliable replacement glass on the aftermarket, which is all insurance pays for unless you have multiple problems like I did, only then will you get oem. And I wonder how long it will last! the glass seems brittle - there is an obvious design problem here.

Windshield exhibited sparkling type fault that compromised ability to see clearly thru the windshield. Especially severe in night driving or direct sunlight. Subaru replaced windshield as a "courtesy" to me. The same condition is now prevalent in the replacement windshield. I know the dealer will tell me it is another fault, not the manufacturing of the windshield.
