Description of the problem | Subaru outback 2015 windshields have very low quality and crack with minimal contact. Our windshields broke twice in one month after replacing the original one with another from subaru. The two times driven on the highway and two tiny rock hit the windshield and created a 12" long crack across the windshield. The cost for the windshields is very expensive at around $700 to purchase a new windshield and to have it installed. |
