Low Production Volumes and High Glass Rarity

Finding replacement auto glass for this crossover presents a distinct challenge because fewer than 7,200 total units rolled off the assembly line during its four-year production run. Standard highway stone strikes that cause an unrepairable star break or edge crack frequently leave drivers waiting on nationwide glass supplier backorders. Because the sloping roofline blends the top edge of the windshield directly against a three-piece panoramic glass roof, even minor impact stress at the upper glass perimeter spreads quickly across the acoustic laminate.

When an incoming projectile chips the lower windshield black ceramic band near the two-piece cowl grille, cold temperatures will run that fracture across the driver's sightline. I operate as a fully mobile service, travelling directly to your driveway or office parking space anywhere across Toronto and the surrounding GTA to replace these scarce windshields on-site.

Distinguishing Glass Options Across Model Years

Matching the correct aftermarket windshield variant depends heavily on whether your vehicle was manufactured before or during the final 2013 model update. Three main National Auto Glass Specifications (NAGS) part numbers define the lineage for this glass:

NAGS FW03159: The acoustic interlayer windshield configured for 2010 to 2012 models. It features solar-absorbing green tint, a center third-visor frit dot pattern behind the rearview mirror, and a pre-bonded twist-mount mirror bracket designed for the factory electrochromic auto-dimming mirror. The 2010–2012 model years house their Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) hardware down in the front bumper grille rather than behind the glass.
NAGS FW03325: A non-acoustic aftermarket variant providing standard solar green laminate and the matching twist-mount mirror bracket, functioning as an alternative option when acoustic inventory is exhausted.
NAGS FW04010: Exclusive to the refreshed 2013 model year. This unit integrates a dedicated optical bracket designed to mount the forward-facing monocular camera responsible for Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW).

Neither production variant utilizes a glass-mounted rain sensor—the intermittent wiper system relies solely on vehicle speed logic—and neither incorporates electric heating element grids under the wiper resting zone.

Exterior Trim Hardware and the Panoramic Roof Line

Replacing this windshield requires managing exterior mouldings engineered specifically for this body shell. The upper edge is sealed using reveal moulding (dealer reference 73150-SZN-A01), which sits flush against the front fixed panel of the panoramic roof glass. A flawed install height can disrupt the flush alignment between the windshield and the overhead glass roof.

The painted A-pillar side garnish assemblies anchor tightly alongside the glass borders using specialized retaining clips (clip OEM 91570-SZN-305). These exterior pillar covers must be disengaged with great care; age, road vibration, and brittle plastics mean the hidden internal locking tabs often snap, demanding fresh hardware clips to prevent high-speed wind vibration or pillar trim separation down the road.

Can I install a 2010–2012 windshield into a 2013 model?

No. The 2013 model year requires NAGS part FW04010, which includes the factory-bonded bracket at the top center of the glass to seat the monocular camera for Forward Collision Warning and Lane Departure Warning. Windshields for 2010–2012 (FW03159 or FW03325) lack this hardware bracket entirely.

Will an aftermarket windshield make the cabin noticeably louder?

Only if you select a non-acoustic alternative. Choosing an aftermarket pane tagged as acoustic (FW03159) preserves the factory-level sound suppression because it incorporates the specialized noise-dampening interlayer between the two plies of glass. Installing the standard solar glass (FW03325) may result in slightly higher perceived wind and road hiss at highway speeds.

Does the vehicle have heated wipers or rain-sensing glass pads?

No. None of the windshield variations feature embedded heating wires at the base or an optical gel pad for automatic rain sensing. All wiper speeds are adjusted via speed-sensing intervals, and washer fluid spray originates from the cowl panel rather than glass-embedded heating elements.
