| Description of the problem | I'll be replacing my windshield for the second time within a year tomorrow and having it repaired overall for the third time within a year. The first replacement was due to a small pebble kicking up from the highway causing a small star crack in my line of sight forcing a replacement because the patch still caused line of sight issues. Less than a month later another small pebble caused a second crack. This time a patch was fine and luckily was free. This morning i came out to my car, which had been parked all weekend, and when i got in saw that there is a long j shaped crack starting from the top of the windshield near the passenger side eyesight camera going all the way down and around the dot matrix pattern that comes down the windshield near the rear view mirror. These windshields are terrible and i've never had an issue with a windshield before owning a subaru. It's unfortunate because the rest of the car is great. If you're going to buy a subaru probably prepare for an annual windshield replacement and get ready for that deductible. |
