wim Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) I had a stone hit my 2017 Outback Limited and was told this morning that there are no replacement windshields in stock and no answer as to when they might be available. Dealer in my area cannot find one, nor can the Safelite installer. Anyone have a suggestion please? Thanks much Edited June 14, 2017 by wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Oooo. Not good. Nothing comes up on ebay either. Duct tape? Plexiglass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp98 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'd try other glass dealers in your area. Safelite told me that they couldn't find a tinted windshield for my truck a couple years ago and another shop had them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Call around and don't quit looking so easily. Whoever answered the phone and pushed some computer buttons doesn't necessarily know the national supply and market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 For starters, don't call safelite... Keep calling around. Try calling another dealer or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subaru Scott Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Why not Safelite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 They charge premium prices on the cheapest windshields. I've had issues with safelite installs in the past such as leaking and trim pieces that won't stay in place even if they're "brand new" trim. Even have customers who share the same experience. They also (at least in my area) tend to not show up when they say they're going to be there at a certain time. Im not talking 15-30 minutes difference, I mean 2-3 hours late with no call or explanation. I've dealt with enough windshield companies that I've found a local installer who does very good work and has on several occasions been on site 45 minutes after I call, correct windshield installed in 30 minutes for quite a bit less than what safelite charges.
