Depends on your insurance. If you have comprehensive, sometimes there is no deductible on glass. In any case, a new windshield, as repairs go, is a relatively cheap repair even if you have to do it out of pocket.

Yea, I'd check with insurance first, they may cover it but may require you use "their guy" (most use Safelite in the US)

Saw this.. maybe I'll get 🤔 I'm sure it's all same up to 2020?
I'll have my neighbor install it as he does windshield replacements and repairs |

should probably talk to your neighbor about that plan first. sometimes used parts cost more to install because they need more prep.

I just went through the same thing. The $439 glass is probably not OEM Subaru glass. I ended up requesting OEM from Safelite and using my insurance. It was something like $850 for the OEM glass.
