How much does it cost to replace a subaru windshield

Consumer

HOUSTON – Rock chips and then cracks are common on car windshields in our area, but your vehicle may be more susceptible to them. This one automaker has agreed to repair or replace the cracked windshields in some of its vehicles.

Subaru made the offer to settle a class-action lawsuit that claims the carmaker failed to let customers know about a design defect that causes the windshields to crack in some 2015 to 2016 Subaru Outbacks and Legacy vehicles.

When the glass was manufactured, an issue with the de-icer, made the windshield more susceptible to cracking, according to the lawsuit.

If you have one of the vehicles and your windshield has not cracked yet, Subaru is extending your warranty for the original windshield to 8 years. It was 5 years.

If you already had to pay to have your windshield repaired or replaced, you can submit a claim form to get reimbursed. You only have until April 23rd to file that claim.

You can find the VINs included in the replacement offer and the claim forms at this link.

If you have a 2018 SUBARU BRZ, 2 DOOR COUPE, be aware the Subaru BRZ has 1 different windshield replacement options for Green Tint, Blue Shade  so depending on  what style Subaru BRZ you have will determine the replacement part needed and the cost for the replacement windshield on your Subaru BRZ.  Not every option is the same price so replacement costs may vary from part to part.  Certain models require additional work to perform a safe replacement and that will affect the cost for that vehicle.  Finding the correct replacement part ensures the windshield will fit and the features on your vehicle will function as they did in the past prior to replacing the glass.  Price quotes over the phone will most likely vary from auto glass company to auto glass company because not every company will most likely be able to accurately determine which option your vehicle has.  When you are calling around & shopping around remember the price quoted could be completely inaccurate if the company providing the quote doesn’t accurately determine which replacement part is needed.  Also, If you make a mistake and the installer arrives with the wrong part the appointment will have to be rescheduled.  Some companies are inexperienced and will make mistakes so making sure you know about your vehicle and it’s options can be to your advantage.
