| Description of the problem | While i was driving i heard a pop, did see or notice anything. Next day i had a crack in my driver side windshield, about 8-10 inches crack. Thought i had glass coverage but its $1000 deductible. Safelite cost is $461. 55. I have the 2015 subaru outback with eyesight, that means after safelight repairs the windshield i then need to bring the car to my subaru dealer to have the eyesight recalibrate for about $200. My car only has 8700 miles. Looking at other comments, this seems to be a big problem with 2015 subaru outbacks. If i had full glass coverage i would have cared or wrote about this. Hope subaru fixes this problem. Thanks and hope everyone stays safe. After seeing the note below i was in motion on a 2 lane street. I do drive from ny to florida twice a year and don't know what i would do if this happened on a long trip. Doesn't seem safe if subaru has defective windshields |
