Description of the problem | I have a 2020 outback limited and the front windshield has cracked twice on it while driving on i-75 in tn. Both times a small stone kicked up by a passing car hit the windshield and before i could get it checked out by safelite; it cracked horizontally. I had the windshield replaced and paid $1035 to have it replaced by a subaru dealer and less than two weeks later, another small stone kicked up by a crv passing me hit the new subaru windshield. Again, it immediately cracked horizontally and now i will have it replaced a second time. There is appears to be something wrong with the quality of the glass: too thin? Due to the eyesight system needing a very optically pure glass; perhaps the glass is too thin. But the quality of the subaru front windshield glass needs to be looked into. (i was driving at 70 mph in very light traffic. No trucks in area. |
