I have seen that in glass before. I don't think there is anything that can be done.

I have it both in the 968 and the 928 so it has to be pretty common. I will try to get a pick. Most noticable in the late day sun for some reason.

Here is an angle that you should be able to see the spottting.

The brand of tint they use will be telling.

3M, hands down...very few places actually have it.

All car glass has it, as it has -a- tint to it.
Polarized glasses bring it out BIG time.

Dont worry about it.




And..FWIW, next time you need a new front window, take it to your local 3M dealer, and have them put on the 5% heat tint.

You -can not tell- 5% with the human eye. Its a 200 layer tint, that will remove all UV and like 98% of IR from your interior.

Well worth it to your nice dash you dont want shrinking.

You literally feel like youre sitting in a car with the A/C on..when its not with this tint.

Be about $600 for the front glass, can only be done well with the glass out of the car.

Be wary on how dark you go on the front windows... One more excuse to pull ya over when its OBVIOUSLY darker than the legal limit... Ask me how I know..? Find out what the law is and go a shade or two darker... The talent of the guy doing the installing is key... One piece for back hatch and the rear corner windows - the rears are a PITA to get right with no bubbles in those tight-@$$ corners...
