Another "Feature" of Subaru's...the windshield are slapped in during the
build. The body flexes and the windshield cracks.
Subaru of America doesn't like to cover ANYTHING under warranty. You have to
force them to stand behind these cheesy cars.
Good luck, be VERY persistent. |

Nope.
But, I'm willing to bet if you have comprehensive on your auto policy
that it is applicable toward it, less your deductible. And if it's
just a chip, they'll probably fix the chip for free.

Depends what caused it. If the windshield heater caused it they may
cover. If a rock why should they/

Um... the big deal is what a windshield for a Subaru costs to
replace. It's not like changing oil.

What state are u in?
In FL, insurance companies will replace the windshield with no
deductible, meaning, 0 cost to you. As far as I undertand, state
regulations.
The only thing they do here is check that the cracked windshield is not
due to a pedestrian you hit, 
In my case, they even came to change it in my garage.
Good luck!

Hi,
Warranty on cracked windshield? Hmmm...
I won't say it couldn't be a factory defect, but careful examination
will probably show a rock chip. Depending on weather, it can take
several days from the time of the strike until the crack starts.
I wouldn't hold my breath on warranty coverage.

Hi,
Do you have to stay up late at night to come up with this stuff? I'm
SURE Subaru has a special "cheesy" way to install windshields nobody
else in the industry uses. Uh, huh.

I had a windshield spontaneously crack on my '99
Outback. Driving the freeway, no other cars in
sight, all of a sudden a bang that sounded like
a .22 rifle followed by a growing crack top to
bottom in the middle of the windshield.
Car was long out of warranty so that wasn't an
issue, but it would have been interesting had it
been in warranty. >> Stay informed about: Cracked Windshield |
