Subaru Auto Glass & Windshield Replacement

Subaru LogoSubaru is the automotive brand from Fuji Heavy Industries out of Japan.  When they released the Subaru Outback and it’s all wheel drive.  The tagline “the world’s first sport utility wagon” was used and “Crocodile Dundee” was starred in an Outback in a number of rugged Australian locations.  The company began to attract young and educated customers who liked the idea of a alternative to the larger SUV. Subaru has historically been popular in the Northeastern United States as well as the Pacific Northwest.

Subaru is unique in that they use a “Boxer” engine in their vehicles.  A Boxer engine is a flat engine with horizontally-opposed pistons. This lower the center of gravity and combined with the all wheel drive make for a better handling vehicle. Currently, only Subaru and Porsche use a flat engine.

Subaru Windshield Replacement

The cost of a windshield replacement on a Subaru is right in line with other similar models from Honda and Toyota. They seem to last forever and there are plenty of auto glass replacement parts available.

Each model is different has their own set of challenges when it come to a windshield replacement. Abbey Rowe Auto Glass has expert technicians that know Subaru’s in and out.

The Subaru Forester has a cowl panel that is a bit tricky to remove, and can easily break is too much force is applied. The moulding on the windshield has sharp corners and a universal style moulding will not work. Abbey Rowe Auto Glass includes a new moulding in all of our windshield replacements.

The car door windows are difficult to install properly because they have a frame-less design. There is no “track” for the window to follow. When replacement adjustments must be made for the door glass to seal properly.

New models have a few safety and convenience feature built into the glass that can effect the cost of a windshield replacement.

Heated Wiper Park Area- An electric grid embedded in the glass, similar to your rear-window deicer, that runs along the base of the windshield . Its purpose is to warm the area to help keep the wipers free of ice and snow. This feature comes with the All-Weather Package and includes heated seats, heated side mirrors to improve both comfort and visibility when the weather turns cold.

EYESIGHT Driver Assist Technology- Using two cameras mounted to the windshield above the rearview mirror to monitor traffic, EyeSight driver assist technology can react to conditions. An alert will be sounded along with a visual warning when it senses danger of a collision. It can even apply the brakes automatically. EyeSight also optimizes cruise control and can warn drivers when they’re swaying outside their lane.
