Description of the problem | I have experienced multiple issues with now 2 replacement windows on my 2017 forester for what i believe to be related to low quality glass that subaru is using. Glass damage - 1. 7. 18 - small chip while vehicle was moving from road debris. Driving on i-25 south in co - repaired / chip filled by safelite glass damage - 2. 5. 18 - small chip near center top that expanded into a 2 foot crack. Chip / crack occured while vehicle was in motion. Was driving on route 6 east. Safelite replaced the glass with an oem / subaru part glass damage - 3. 31. 18 - small chip the size of the head of a pin, occured while vehicle was in motion. Driving on i-25 in co left lane, no vehicles in front, only one vehicle to my right. Resulted in overnight cracking of over a foot long while vehicle was parked requiring my windshield to be replaced for a 2nd time. Also replaced by safelite there were several additional small chips in between the 1. 7. 18 and 2. 5. 18 incident prior to the windshield being replaced. |
