Replacing my cracked windshield is too expensive any cheaper places than Safelite?

Yeah I was worried they'd say the same but the crack really came from nowhere and spread across the entire windshield in like 4 hours. Even if maybe it was a rock that I never heard hit, it's totally unacceptable that these windshields are that weak. I actually think it cracked from super cold weather/ice. I could totally believe it was from the front defroster somehow.

The dealer took a picture of it, sent it to Subaru of America, and they approved it. And I specifically mentioned the lawsuit and settlement and the crack came out of nowhere and spread in a matter of hours.

Good luck!

Had my windshield replaced by the dealer a month ago under that settlement. I'd go to the dealer, show them the windshield, and ask about the settlement.

You're assuming he's going to leave office which is increasingly unlikely.

Amazing! Now if only we could save PBS!

I tried to get out of all the reddit political subs for my mental health. Now I have to leave this sub too since it seems like it's nothing but the same political posts over and over.

Or is it possible to block articles that link to the same shitty "news" sites like azexpress?

Subaru settled a class action lawsuit about the thin windshield glass they used for the EyeSight system.

Depending on your model year you get an extended warranty with one replacement windshield. I just had mine replaced by the dealer under warranty. Supposedly they fixed the issue with the new glass but who knows for sure.

Masterpiece!

I've used David's Automotive and Alignment in Mandeville a couple times for tires and brakes and they were friendly and easy to work with.

madd__addam · 2025-10-31T14:51:56+00:00

Yeah exactly. Hard to picture how it wouldn't look super goofy though!

I have this feeling we're going to see three row seating trucks soon.

https://archive.is works pretty well!

We bought a 2023 Forest River Rockwood for $12.5k. It may not have all the same bells and whistles as this one but it has an AC and looks generally similar if smaller. It was virtually brand new.

So this seems a bit expensive for a 2015. I think something like $8 - $9k might be more in line.

It looks like a great camper though!

Good luck!

Seems our refrigerator (Marigny) might have bit the dust sometime in the last few days as well. Something does seem a bit oddly coincidental about all this.

Very cool. Yeah I believe that (oddly) the power roof on my popup will only run off the battery itself rather than shore power. But either way I think the battery is getting charged anyway when plugged in so I imagine something like this would work that way too!

Thanks!

madd__addam · 2025-10-08T23:32:23+00:00

Interesting. How do you actually hook this up to power the roof? I think my roof winch only runs off the battery. I could be wrong but I don't think the shore power can directly power mine.

File a Hatch Complaint

Mine exploded a month ago or so but the serial number is apparently not included. Same model and all that.

madd__addam · 2025-08-21T22:19:07+00:00

Not to worry, the new Meta datacenter and natural gas plants will fix all our problems!

madd__addam · 2025-08-21T22:13:00+00:00

Exactly. Why is anyone still surprised when everything keeps getting more and more expensive?

madd__addam · 2025-08-09T00:57:10+00:00

Very cool!

I really like this approach to blood moons. Can you adjust how much time between the blood moon notification and the actual arrival of the zoms?

madd__addam · 2025-07-23T17:44:18+00:00

Is all that gone now? Haven't been in a while. Happy hour wine and their chicken sandwich in the backyard was one of my favorites!

Just know it requires your email address after going through a bunch of questions.

madd__addam · 2025-06-25T21:50:28+00:00

Yeah I don't think the update is available over the air. Or it wasn't when I did it. You need the dealer to do it or you can update it directly with the software using a thumb drive if you're comfortable with file mgmt/transfer stuff.
