Some beauty secrets are worth long journeys. The women of the Quechua-Shuar tribe of South America have traveled deep into the Amazon rainforest for hundreds of year to retrieve one such secret, a natural oil that is incredibly healthy for the hair. Just a few drops helps repair damage caused by sunlight and environmental stressors. A native of Ecuador, New York City-based stylist Fabian Lliguin was told of this ancient beauty secret and after conducting her own research, became convinced of the benefits of this rare oil.
The Rahua hair care collection that she founded contains generous doses of the oil, which is sourced through fair trade agreements with many South American tribes. When you use any of the products in the range, nourishing Rahua oil will deeply penetrate your hair, restoring moisture to the strands and revitalizing hair that has become brittle or dull. The brand produces shampoos, conditioners, treatments and styling products, everything that you need to care for your hair on a daily basis. Unlock your hair's true potential with Rahua, the beauty secret of the Quechua-Shuar.
Rahua offers products that avoid harsh chemicals, artificial colorants, chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrance and chemical sunscreens wherever possible. |

Rahua Customer Reviews
Where have you been all my life? - 1/15/2014 4:21:01 AM OK, I've spent DECADES searching for the perfect conditioner for my color treated, thick wavy hair. I want volume, but not frizz, and I wanted a healthy natural product. Ladies (and gents), this product is perfection, what more can I say? Give it a try, you won't be disappointed (and, no, I don't work for the company).Received bad batch, disappointed! - 7/16/2013 12:53:47 AM I've used rahua shampoo and conditioner for years, went through dozens of this product b4. The half dozen bottles I ordered during the 20% sale have a sour rancid smell, instead of the usual rich shea butter scent! Bottles arrived with half-opened lids and some spillled products in box.Really Like - 4/29/2013 3:21:55 PM Even though a bit pricey I really like both the Rahue shampoo and conditioner. I have neck length colored hair with highlights. The conditioner leaves hair soft and gives it body. One suggestion don't use shampoo without conditioner. Shampoo alone left hair in tangles. I also use conditioner with other favorite shampoos. I will buy again but with 20% sale.the best oil i ever used - 3/12/2013 9:08:53 AM so i purchase this oil a month ago, since the first time i started using the oil my hair has been nothing but wonderful. i have kinky curly so my hair get dry easy and ofter need lots of moisturizer.this oil give made like new ago,my hair shine,had body, bounce,and it kept my hair frizz -free all day. even made my hair sleeky and soft, which is hard to do becasue i have fine hair.i also seen some hair growth while using this oil. Im definifity going to repuchase this oil again.Amazing, it's NOT - 1/3/2013 10:29:29 AM Don't believe these products held up to its claims-- nourishes scalp and hair, nor aromatherapeutic. Hair texture felt drier after using for 2 weeks.I like it - 11/17/2012 9:03:45 PM This product makes my hair shinier than anything I have ever used, and also makes it quite soft. Having said that, if you are looking for a product to smooth and defrizz this is probably not the one. I am also not a fan of the smell.Love! - 10/20/2012 5:26:18 PM Rahua is wonderful! I have asian fine hair that tends to get somewhat oily. This gives my hair volume, lots of shine, and helps tame frizz. It does leave you with a squeaky clean feel but it doesn't bother me. Not too fond of the price and the fact that it leaves your hair tangled but I can work through that so, I'll purchase it again because this stuff works for me.Great find! - 6/29/2012 4:04:45 PM The volumizer shampoo/conditioner was not good for my hair but the regular shampoo is probably the best I have ever used. I was an Aveda devotee but may be changing over to this brand. I'm always looking for quality products without toxic chemicals. This product is even better than Aveda but I will only purchase when I can use 20 percent discount due to high cost.The BEST for Curly Hair - 6/1/2012 9:28:17 AM This product is really amazing for curly hair. It defines the curls and keeps my hair frizz-free. My two complaints are that it is VERY expensive and I can't take it with me when I travel (if I don't check bags) because of the size.excellent conditioner for healthy hair - 5/9/2012 3:04:13 PM Just like the shampoo, it smells pretty bad but it helps my hair look how I've always wanted it: strong, shiny, bouncy & voluminous. Once your hair is dry the unpleasant smell completely fades away. I would definitely repurchase. -

Benzoyl Peroxide Versus Salicylic Acid
If you have acne you've certainly heard plenty about benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. These two products are the active ingredients found in most all over-the-counter acne treatments. Some products even contain both ingredients, however you may be left to wonder which option is best for your condition.
There is no one answer for the question of which product is best. This really depends on your skin and the acne that you are bothered with as well as the product that you prefer to use. Every individual's need will vary and the product should be selected based on these needs.
Benzoyl Peroxide works to reduce acne-causing bacteria. It works best for acne that is inflamed and red. Some people, especially those with sensitive skin, nay find benzoyl peroxide to harsh for their skin. It is recommended to use the lowest possible dosage of the product (2.5%) and increase the dosage is desired results are attained. Both OTC and prescription acne treatments use Benzoyl Peroxide to treat the skin conditions.
Salicylic Acid works to speed up cell turnover rates. For those with milder forms of acne, as well as individuals with sensitive skin, this product is usually the better option. Salicylic acid also works well for teenagers and those who are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide.
Both Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid are highly effective in treating acne and are the two mos commonly used ingredients inside of acne products sold over the counter. Side effects with either product are mild but include dryness, peeling and irritation. You may wish to consider using both products for the most effective acne fighting results. For example, you can choose a cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide and a lotion that contains Salicylic Acid. Be warned, however, the chance of experiencing side effects is greater when the two products are used together. Get the best acne treatments on http://www.solveacnetoday.com/.
No matter which ingredient you choose, remember that treating acne will take time and effort. It did not develop overnight nor will it go away this fast. Stick with your program, ensuring that you use the chosen product as it is intended to be used. Within a few short weeks you should be able to find yourself free of acne using either product. If, after three months, you are not seeing any results, contact a dermatologist. Some resistant acne must use a prescription strength product to attain results.

After being briefed on the deal by the Commerce Department officials, the Florida Tomato Exchange and Certified Greenhouse Farmers released a statement expressing "tentative support" for the revised suspension agreement.
"The agreement as it is currently structured is a step forward," said Reggie Brown, executive vice president of the Florida Tomato Exchange, Maitland, Fla. Brown said the agreement's higher prices validate the contention of U.S. growers that they have been dumped on for some period of time by Mexican tomato imports. "We still feel very strongly that the cost of production is essential to determining what the correct reference price should be and we look forward in the future for Commerce to obtain that information and adjust the reference prices on that basis."
Martin Ley, vice president of Nogales, Ariz.-based Del Campo Supreme Inc. and spokesman for a consortium of Mexican tomato growers who negotiated the suspension agreement, said in a statement that those growers offered substantial concessions in negotiations over the past year to preserve the suspension agreement.
"Even though no dumping or injury to the U.S. industry was demonstrated by our competitors, over the last year our growers worked with our government to overhaul the whole Mexican industry, broaden the coverage and develop tough enforcement schemes," Ley said in the statement.
Ley said the new floor prices will impose hardships on the Mexican industry, but growers hope the agreement will bring long-term benefits.
"Our compromises are expressions of trust and good faith, the essential ingredients to any bilateral trade relationship, and we look forward to similar expressions of cooperation and good will as we head into the comment period," he said in the statement.
The effective date of any final agreement is projected to be March 4, according to a fact sheet provided by the Commerce Department.
The new reference prices for open-field and adapted-environment tomatoes are 31 cents per pound in the winter and 24.58 cents per pound in the summer, according to the fact sheet. For controlled-environment tomatoes, the price for winter tomatoes is 41 cents per pound, while the summer price for controlled-environment tomatoes is 32.51 cents per pound.

Readers learned about the mission projects of Pat and Gary Fuller, who have been involved in bringing joy and relief to the people of Haiti for more than 16 years, including an orphanage. In the 2010 earthquake that devastated Haiti, the orphanage lost two main buildings. Five children and two workers were also killed, as reported in the May 2, Lifestyles article.
"Our aim is to be a help to children who don't have someone to see after them," Pat was quoted as saying. Before the earthquake, 82 children were in the orphanage — now there are 65. The next trip to Haiti is set for the first week in March. Anyone interested in volunteering to join the team to Haiti should contact Gary Fuller at 423-715-1454.
Another Cleveland couple, Jason and Toby Long, set out to transform the future of the children of Thailand with a message of drug prevention, anti-sex trafficking and a moral development program, according to the May 20, Lifestyles feature story.
As part of the Think Small Foundation, Jason and Toby use entertainment, education and youth empowerment to impact the abused and underprivileged children in Thailand, many of whom are victims of sex trafficking between the ages of 12 and 16.
Toby admits what they are doing is seen by some as "putting a Band-Aid on a volcano," but the couple believes each and every child saved from a life of prostitution or drug abuse is worth the effort. For further information, readers were asked to visit www.thinksmallfoundation.org.
With Hispanics becoming the leading minority in Bradley County, it was no surprise when a New York couple, Moises and Keyla Gonzalez, left the Big Apple to live in the City With Spirit to reach out to the Hispanic community who were interested in learning more about the Bible. The bilingual couple made volunteer service a priority individually and as a couple after their marriage in 2008, as reported in the May 9 article on "Hispanic couple falls for Cleveland."
Moises, who served at the world headquarters of the WatchTower Bible and Tract Society in Brooklyn, N.Y., at Bethel, joined his wife in the full-time ministry and moved to Cleveland where the need was greater for evangelizers who wanted to serve the Hispanic community. At one time the couple was conducting 14 home Bible studies.
The Cleveland newcomers said their first assignment out of New York has taught them how to make adjustments quicker in their marriage and ministry. The pioneer couple have recently been reassigned to a new location and will be moving to another area in Tennessee in early 2013.
May was also National Foster Care Month and no one better expressed the difficulties of a dysfunctional family that lead to her turbulent life in foster care than Cleveland resident Nicole Price.
In a candid interview, Price shed light on the plight of children in broken homes and the need for more attention in foster care in her tell-all account, "Anatomy of a runaway," which ran May 30.
Price, who stopped running and went on to graduate cum laude with an associate in science degree from Everest University, said, "You can't choose to run away from your problems all of your life, because in the end they will be there in your face." She married her biggest supporter, Matthew, and is currently pursuing a career as a child advocate and speaker on behalf of children in foster care.
Cleveland residents were among the 500 promotional extras featured at Chattanooga's Historic Engel stadium for the filming of the Hollywood motion picture, "42," starring Harrison Ford. Mara Grisham, a reading interventionist at Stuart Elementary School, became the first prize winner when her name was picked in the first raffle giveaway on May 21. She won an Apple iPod Shuffle, the world's smallest digital music player, but the real "payoff" will be local residents seeing themselves on the big screen on April 12. The time period of baseball film's release will coincide with major league baseball's "Jackie Robinson Day," commemorating the date when Robinson, whose uniform number was 42, broke the color barrier in baseball.
The discovery that her great-grandmother was of the Shawnee tribe gave Native American Donna Jean Barone, also known as "Fallingwaters," a whole new perspective on life, as reported in the June 3 article, "Amazing Grace touches Fallingwaters."
"Finding out about my heritage has made me stronger. It has made me determined to be a better person," she said. "We are here to help others; that is our purpose in life. I think everyone is here to love and to give love. When you give love you get it back, usually a hundredfold."
In 2011, she rode 100 miles in 10 hours for Habitat for Humanity's Bike to Build. Currently, she is learning the Cherokee language, known as Tsalagi, and is studying the Bible with friends. To view Fallingwaters' handmade crafts, visit: nativeamericandreams.webs.com.
Summer heated up in the most romantic way when former childhood sweethearts Julian Robinson and Peggy Moxley, both born in 1940, were married May 26, after 68 years apart. The true-life, fairy-tale romance of two 4-year-olds who went their separate ways but found each other later in life was a favorite among our readers. Discovering that both love and romance can happen twice in a lifetime was the feature of the July 1, Lifestyles article that detailed the happy couple's reunion and wedding day after nearly seven decades apart.
"It's wonderful," said Julian regarding their marriage. "It has brought life and happiness to both of us. I never dreamed I could be in love again. Now we're going for happily ever after."
When it comes to giving, longtime Cleveland resident Josephine Day became the focus on our July 11 Lifestyles for donating her priceless collection of Indian artifacts to Red Clay Historic State Park. Day, 88, and her late husband, Conrad, spent much of their lifetime collecting Indian artifacts. Many of their rare arrowheads, ornaments, utensils, pipes and game pieces will be part of Red Clay's displayed public collection.
"We need to remember our history," Day said. "There are some people who don't even know that there were Indians here and they were made to leave. They were promised they would not have to leave, then they made them leave."
Day said her donation is one way to honor her husband, be remembered and leave a legacy that future generations can learn from.
After Dawniel King competed in the Team Universe National Physique Committee show and won her pro card for the International Federation of BodyBuilding, in a July 29 Lifestyles feature she called it the completion of a major dream in her life.
Now the bodybuilding and nutrition advocate is out to inspire others to make nutrition, fitness and staying in shape a part of the overall completion of their lives. When asked what she's learned about fitness and its importance over the years, King said, "It reminds me every day that I have the power to change. Life is full of obstacles, but with desire and dedication you can rise above them."
King has added a fitness clothing line to her recent accomplishments — fulfilling her dream to be a trend-setter in the field of fashion fitness.
The dream of several youths to become writers is being nurtured in Cleveland, thanks to the local Boys & Girls Clubs starting a journalism program that teaches kids how to write their own ticket to success, according to the Aug. 5 Lifestyles feature.
Writers from the Cleveland Daily Banner met with writers and youths in the new journalism program. Banner General Manager Jim Bryant gave a tour of the presses and other newspaper departments to excited youths in the new program. The unique thing about the program, according to Annalicia Alexander, preteen director, is that the kids are running it.
"The have an editor, a chief-of-staff who goes over everything and a proofreader. It's very exciting," she said.
When it comes to excitement, however, Cleveland resident Ed Leech may be one athlete who stands alone. In this year's Tennessee state Senior Olympics, Leech won six medals and set two Senior Olympics state records.
"I was more shocked than I was proud that I set state records," he admitted.
The retired teacher placed in both his regional and state competitions. The 64-year-old has been swimming since he was 13 and living in Tampa, Fla.
Kudos went out to Bryan Reed, the history professor at Cleveland State Community College, for uncovering a local historical figure in Clinton Calloway, as reported in the Aug. 12 Lifestyles feature. Calloway was a Cleveland native who joined Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosewald in initiating the Rosenwald Schools program, according to Reed, who spoke at the "National Rosenwald Schools Conference: 100 Years of Pride, Progress and Preservation" event held June 14-16 in Tuskegee, Ala.
Reed spoke about Calloway's contribution to a building program that provided seed grants for the construction of 5,300 buildings, including schools, workshops and teachers' homes for African-Americans in 15 states from 1913-32.
"For Cleveland, this is uncovering history that has not been written before," said Reed, who was joined by descendants of Calloway at the event.
The Aug. 15 article on Bringing hope to orphans in Mexico raised awareness of the efforts of Tony Lane, the son of Joyce Lane Rayburn of Cleveland, who has made 30 trips with 27 different groups to Mexico.
Representing the Youth and Christian Education Department of the Church of God, Lane said he wants to expose the mission experience to as many as possible. He took his son, Josh, and 13 students from South Cleveland Church of God, including other participants from Cleveland and 11 other states, on a mission trip to Mexico in an effort to restore hope for abandoned and forgotten children.
According to Lane, the children in Poza Rica come from abusive homes or no home at all. Some children are living under the bridge, he said. "We can't get free from the orphanage," said Lane, who will be returning to Mexico with a group from Jan. 4-11.
Summer was in full swing and temperatures were on the rise as family members of the Hatfields dropped by the Banner to relate information that the Hatfield-McCoy feud may predate American history, as told in the Aug. 26 Lifestyles feature.
According to Carolyn Riddle, the 75-year-old daughter of Elizabeth Hatfield, she had recently discovered through a relative researching the Hatfield ancestry that the family bloodline can be traced back to Hatfield, England.
"My second cousin has been tracing back the Hatfields and he has gone back to 1120 (A.D.)," Riddle said. "They came from East Hatfield, England. The first one was Be Be. He was called Be Be of Hatfield. Back then you may not have had a last name. You were just of a certain town. Then down through the years Hatfield became the last name when we started to immigrate. That's as far back as our family has gone so far."
The discovery supports the possibility that the bad blood between the Hatfields and McCoys may have started during the English Revolution when the McCoys (of Scottish origin) supported King Charles I and the Hatfields took the side of Oliver Cromwell, an English military commander and political leader, during the 17th century English Civil War.
When asked how they personally felt about the McCoys, Riddle, who is related to the Hatfields of Mingo County, W.Va., said, "Anything that has ever happened in any way — I don't care if it was a McCoy or whoever it was — to me it has been forgiven."
Benson added, "We have no hard feelings towards anyone. I use to work with a McCoy and we got along fine."
Riddle said she and her daughter are in agreement with the words of Ephesians 4:31-32, "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
In the sultry months that saw missions work, marital bliss and legendary figures like Jackie Robinson turned into movies, or a miniseries based on a legendary family feud and the scintillating stories that followed them, Lifestyles had enough steam to make it to September, where cooler weather would arrive just in time for lively festivals, arts-and-crafts and a few surprises that took our readers as far as Africa and India.
The Year in Review will conclude in Wednesday's Lifestyle.

Subaru Forester Windshield Cracks
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740I agree that the Forester's windshield is far more prone to cracking than anything else I have experienced. I was lucky and went about 16,000 miles with my 2010 without a single chip - longer than with most any other car I have owned. Unfortunately, the first chip resulted in my first crack! It was just a tiny little thing, well away from the edge of the windshield, but within a few hours it had started to run a crack vertically along the passenger side.
I have received dozens of chips in other vehicles, including about 20 in the windshield of my 1996 Outback (many of which were large dime-size plus), and none have produced a crack save for one in my 98 Escort that was on the very edge of the windshield.
I seriously doubt the issue has anything to do with dash heat being different from that produced by other cars. It is more likely to be the glass itself. They just don't make it like they used to.
When the value of currency tanks like the dollar has, something has to give to keep prices down.
About fifteen years ago, I took a rock in the windshield of my 1969 Ford Econoline during a trip to Alaska. It was the first chip in the (original) windshield, which was sad enough by itself, but the rock that hit was a monster that resulted in a spiderweb chip about the size of a silver dollar. Fifteen years later, that chip still hasn't resulted in the damage expanding from its source. My '69 Chevy pickup has a similar chip (though somewhat smaller), under similar circumstances, in its windshield (which is also original) with the same results.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
margie12 Posts: 1I bought my Suburu a year and a half ago and the front windshield is riddled with chips and cracks. I have had Ravs and Hondas before and never experienced anything like this. Once I get even a minor chip, within seconds it morphs intoa huge crack. I now have about 5 different cracks all over the windshield. Luckily the vision is still good but it is not aesthetically pleasing at all. Is this because of cheap glass? I am using the same roads I always used. Is there a glass I can order that will not crack as easily? I will replace the windshield but I am sure it will be full of cracks within a few months. Does Suburu have anything to say about this? Would it be worth contacting them? This is a shame because I love the car otherwise.
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740I imagine their response would be something akin to "ma'am we have no control over the size and frequency of rocks contacting your windshield." In other words, no, it would do no good (to you), but I still think it is worth bringing it to their attention. :sick:
I don't think this windshield is any more prone to chipping or pitting, but it is certainly more prone to cracking as a result of those chips/pits.
It is possible that a replacement windshield would be more durable, but it all depends on the manufacturing source and the quality of the workmanship that goes into it. If you get a Subaru "OEM" unit, no, it's going to be just as flimsy. :sick:2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
subarukathy Posts: 1I had a chip that led to a crack, I had the windshield replaced and the tech that came and replaced it told me the windshields they put in at the factory are very thin and chip easy. He replaced it with a much thicker windshield and it even has a heater in it( i live in a cold climate). I have done a lot of open highway driving since having it replaced and haven't had a chip since. I hope I'm not jinxing myself! So if you can have the windshield replaced, I was able to claim it on my insurance.
paulahs Posts: 1Today I noticed a crack in my front windshield. No chip, just a crack. Hairline up the middle of the windshield about 5" starting at the bottom by the wipers, and then it veers off to look like a CRACK. The hairline ALMOST looks like it's a line in the glass, like a defroster or something. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a defect? :confuse:
dmwesq Posts: 1Add me to the list. Just came out the other morning to find the windshield cracked. Ran my hand over the entire windshield in and out and couldn't find anything remotely resembling a chip that would have caused the crack. Do not recall anything recently hitting the windshield either, although I am sure like most cars some road debris has been kicked up into my windshield. The crack looks like it starts at the extreme bottom of the windshield. Have had this Subaru for 1 year. Have owned 4 other Subaru's, but this is my first Forester. I expect to get nowhere with the dealership but will certainly try there before hitting the glass replacement store - insurance will cover but would rather have Subaru replace as it certainly seems like a defect that should be covered under warranty. Subarukathy's comment about thicker replacement glass sounds promising if I have to have replacement done on my own.
tomasdelsol Posts: 2I owned my 2011 Forester for about a month when my first chip appeared. There's also a 1/4 inch crack that hasn't grown. I'm about 10 months in and there's another small crack now. Both were from small debris on the highway. But the windshield definitely seems very, very prone to chipping and cracking.
jrgodsprop Posts: 1I don't normally join in forums like this but I have owned for 2011 Forester for exactly 2 months when I was driving home from Thanksgiving holiday. I heard a loud pop but saw nothing. Two days later the weather dropped 20 degrees and I notice a long crack along the bottom of my windshield. I have owned several other cars but didn't expect to have to replace the windshield after 2 months. I will have to rethink Subaru when I purchase my next vehicle. :lemon:
robert142 Posts: 18I notice that rain sounds much louder on the subaru windshield than any of my previous cars. Rain makes a tinkling sound much like hail. in fact the first time I heard it I thought it was hail but then realized that it was too warm out to be hail. I think that the windshield is thin. Who knows why.
jmwave Posts: 1Same car same problem. No chips no rocks. Bought a new 2011 Forester in October. Just yesterday after using defroster on hi noted a long horizontal crack by the windshield wipers. From what has been posted, Subaru may be using substandard windshield glass. I have had many different cars for many years and this is the first time I experience a crack in a brand new car without having a rock hit the glass. Even after having a chip on the windshield seldom has it expanded.
laromeo Posts: 1Hi, I just purchased a new Forester 2012 2 months ago, less then 800miles on the car. This is my first Subaru car. Two days ago I noticed a stress crack in my front window. There was no trauma to the window. It is an interesting crack. It originates at the top midline of the window and travels in a waveform fashion down to the driver's side. It does not interfere with me driving. It ends at the level of my inside adjustable rear view mirror. I called the dealership where I purchased the car and the mechanic's replied, "we do not do glass". The mechanic never asked me if there was trauma to the car's window. I called Subaru's national 1-800 number, and they were very helpful. Chris, the representative stated to take it back to Subaru and find out if it is a defective window or not. I am in the process to go to another dealership,different from the place I purchased my car
eastbayj Posts: 4I have a 2011 forester I got last Nov. I took a road trip up to Wa from Ca and on the way back we got hit by a rock on the driver side of the windshield near the wiper. The crack was only 3 inches long, we stopped for the night and it grew to 3 times the size!!! and kept going on the way back home... I didnt think I'd get anywhere with the dealership so I came here to tell my story.
editorlady Posts: 1I've never posted to a message board, but this one helped me immensely this morning, so I feel the need to pass on the advice. I've had my 2011 Subaru Forester for a little over a year. I heard a loud pop on my window last Friday and scanned my windshield for visible evidence of a chip because of how loud the sound was. Then on Saturday I noticed a huge chip up behind my rear-view mirror and a crack that had now spidered with the main crack spreading about a third of the way down the middle of my windshield. Thankfully, my auto insurance policy covers glass so I'm having a local glass vendor replace my windshield with an after-market version (windshield will be heated/tinted the same way). I would have had to wait a few days to get the manufacturer's version, which I'm now realizing would probably have me back in the same situation in another year. I'll report back good or bad about the after-market windshield. Stay tuned.
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740Thanks! I'd certainly like to know. OEM is junk, I think, on these. I haven't replaced mine yet, but the whole bottom is cracked up on it, along with a full vertical on the passenger side. Every chip results in a crack. :sick:2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon

xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740I guess the only way I can describe it is... brittle glass. Your pitting will likely be cracking before you finish your next 7500.
I put 220,000 on my 1996 Outback, and it had nary a crack in it, even with 23 (if I recall correctly) noticeable chips.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740Probably not, but that still doesn't forgive the poor quality. My '69 C20 has a far more upright windshield than my Forester, its glass is 44 years old, and it still doesn't have a crack. It has two, yes only TWO chips in it, and those were from some big stones. Heck, if a rock that big hit the Forester, it'd probably come straight on through. :P
With nearly twice as many miles, I just don't see how what's happening to the Forester windshield can be pinpointed to anything other than poor quality.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
jjjolicoeur Posts: 1We have two new outbacks that had the same problem with our windshields The windshield cracked in a cresent shape across the lower length of the whole windshield. We bought three Subarus in Jan of 2012 and two of them cracked exactly the same way. We were just sitting in the car not even moving when there was a loud pop and there was the crack. There was no rock damage, they just cracked. We have seen this same crack on other outbacks on the road and the sales manager who sold us the cars admitted to me that this is a problem that they are aware of but yet we cant get them to cover the replacement under warranty.

garotabrasil Posts: 2I just got my subaru forester on December. I didn t notice any rock hitting my winshield but this morning i was heating up my car and i heard this pop on my winshield and when i look at it was actually a crack getting further and further. To get a new genuine one is 780.00 and after a complain about many people about that after market is better than the factory i was really desappointed with Subaru. Too bad because Subaru used have a really good name in the market but with so many complains it is not good thing. :mad:
