Best Windshield for Subaru Outback

I got a cheapo Benson installed by my local independent windshield shop for like $280 on my ‘22 OBW, without calibration, and it’s been perfectly fine for months now.

I recently had my windshield replaced in my '18 OBW with third-party glass. Used a small local glass shop in a medium size town. They calibrated it in their garage and it has been flawless.

The final windshield was a Pilkington and it’s still going strong. It even took a strike outside of Vegas with a rock the size of a nickel. The Pilkington was installed by an independent installer and there was no problem with the eyesight.

First road trip the window developed a stress crack with no sign of impact on/near the crack. Dealership took pics and submitted to Subaru. They decided to cover a new windshield under warranty (as they should).

I own a 2019 OB Touring with six cylinders. I’m the original owner. I’ve had numerous battery issues, but SOA replaced the DCM Module two years ago, and the battery has been working well so far. In April 2025, SOA also replaced my head unit at no cost to me. Additionally, there was a fuel pump recall several years ago. I get service at a local Subaru dealer, and I’ve been happy with their service. However, the windshields broke once from a stone hitting it, and they’re known for having low-quality windshields. So, I have insurance that covers a 50-dollar copay. Fuel economy isn’t the best, but I enjoy driving it and feel safe in it. Overall, I’m pleased with my car, and the biggest problem was my battery issues, which have been resolved for two years.

Mine was delaminating with 38k miles Subaru replaced it even though I was out of the warranty time period

Owned my 2025 Outback for 6 months. 9K miles. 3 chips already repaired by safelite

OEM is terrible that's why they keep breaking. Ask for Pilkington and never worry about it again

'22 and on my third windshield. One was covered by Subaru and one had to pay insurance deductible. I had both Carlex and Pilkington glass and both cracked

My 21 outback went through 3 windows. 4 total before selling.
