There should be NO distortions in the windshield. What you are describing is a blemish in the glass. That should be replaced under warranty.Gpr1200r said:Anyone else have distortion when looking out the windshield right above the hood line on up to about 4 inches from either side or have I got an issue ??
Thanks, Gpr1200r

Be animate about replacing the windshield. You should never have a "looking out of a coke bottle effect" when looking through any part of a windshield. Windshields are laminated, that's why they don't shatter like regular glass when broken. You are dealing with an inept garage guru.Optimus05GTO said:Tell me about it; you should've heard the excuse the tech gave me: " The car is from Australia and therefore it's different...." after that one, "the glass is laminated and that's why the distortions show..." After telling him that all car glass is laminated for safety reasons, I decided to pursue it with another dealership at a later date. I feel they would've done more harm than good.
This is a serious situation. Your windshield will in time act like a magnifying glass, and when you least expect it, while driving and while pointed towards the sun, your dash board will catch fire. Kind of like putting a magnifying glass on ants.GM Kid said:The flaws in my glass seem like a series of vertical lines, almost like what you'd find on an accordion. If I focus on a fixed object outside the car while seated inside, swaying back and forth makes that object look like a cork bobbing on a ripply lake.
The windshield, by contrast, appears to be sourced from China.
There will be no knocking of ones self out here.....thankyou.Mickey21 said:I see the same slight issue. I am not worried about it. My Mustang did the same thing and didnt burn up in the 10 years I drove it from the stock windsheild never replaced (In Texas heat no less). Just curved glass no big whoop. Looking straight on from the spot I see it at, it looks fine. Just an optical illusion. I wouldnt worry about it, but if you want, knock yourself out.
What???? Blurry glass acts like a magnifying glass??? Did you help design the Hubble telescope???GTO judge said:This is a serious situation.

The windshield in that state will intensify the suns rays and you will develop burn spots on your dash. Worse yet, you may have it parked in the sun and come out to see your car a flame because a bunch of rabid little Chinamen didn't take lamination classes at Wal-Mart U.![]()
