Default Front Windshield Glass Defect?

Not sure if a defect or not.

Next time you get to your GT3, does your glass show small dots sprinklered throughout embedded within its thickness?

I didn't think too much of it when I first took delivery since I thought it may have been part of the heating element system but it gets annoying at certain angles.

I'll take to shop for inspection later this week.

Its the UV protection if you were UV sunglasses. without UV sunglasses they are much less visible.

Actually they are invisible without polarised glasses. Its the polarised glasses at fault here not the glass...

No, but mine has an essentially horizontal linear 15 inch long opaque line 1/3rd down the passenger side windshield that only shows up when there is fog/rain on the outside that I have to wiper away. It's been too cold to recreate here since December, but I have to get a pic of it to show the service guy. Want him to replace my windshield. Don't have any idea what has caused it, but intensive cleaning didn't get rid of it.

I had an issue with mine, dealer replaced the windshield, all better now.

I think it may have been a function of the car sitting in the sun for 4 or 5 months awaiting the engine swap, just a guess, but maybe.?
