Heh.

Funny story.

About a year or two in to owning mine I got a chipped piece of paint right on the roof where the edge meets the windshield. Happened to bring my BRZ to the dealer for some service (I think it was the time my OEM o2 sensor died and they replaced it under warranty). Well, the chipped spot was rusting and I asked if they could also get that fixed under warranty (wasn't sure if they'd do it or not).

Anyway, they ask the service manager, who looks at the rusty chip and then looks at my windshield.

He sees that the manufacturer of the windshield is not Subaru, it's some Japanese name from Gunma.

He insists I've had it replaced with non-OEM glass and that whoever did it probably damaged my paint, so he refuses to have it fixed under warranty.

So of course I respond and say no that's the glass it's had from factory, and he walks me over to a couple random cars in the showroom, shows me that they say Subaru on them as the manufacturer. So then I walk over to another BRZ being sold and immediately I see the same company that's inscribed on mine. Arashi or something. I then ask a couple friends with FRS' what their windshield says.

Bingo, Arashi (or whatever it was).

So basically, my windshield glass came from Toyota (and probably all BRZ's since they're made with mostly the same parts, in the same factory).

But the service manager still didn't care and would not have the paint fixed.

The end.
