Default Rear Glass distorted in my Carrera T
Carrera T owners when you see out of the back of the car, does your Glorilla rear glass make things look distorted. Mine does and I wonder if yours is too.

Have to say no. Mine looks clear. Hate to ask but did you give the glass a good cleaning?

Mine is nice and clear. No distortion I can see.

You dared to talk bad about a Carrera T in this forum? Don't you understand that Carrera Ts are the millennials of the model range? They think they are super special and unique like a snowflake.

Bli8 - you may laugh at this like my 93-year-old Mom and I did when she purchased a new calculator and could not get the number to "clear" off of 23412 (or something). She took it back to the store where the salesperson peeled off the protective film that had the number 23412 on it. She laughed and laughed.

You guessed it - is there any protective film over the Gorilla glass (like an iPhone) that comes from the factory that was not removed?

P.s. disregard the pissy comment from the guy above - let's face it - he has T-envy and all G-glass, unique interior, RAS and 20# of weight savings that go along with it. My order goes in within the next 6 days.

^^^ I did the same recently with a pair of reading glasses. Blurry until after awhile I realized there was a plastic film over the lenses.

Word... Needed to troll a little. Carrera Ts are sweet machines, except yellow ones...

Uh oh, someone needs some attention.

You made me just take off a 12 hour old pair of glasses that feel a bit blurry and pick at them to see if they had film.. They don't, i'm just getting old and have a stronger prescription than I am used to.

Have you ever gone to work and have zero motivation to do anything? That would be me today.
