This concerns my Mazda 3s.
ok... ive searched this topic and found no resuilts and i know im not delusional. but as i was looking at my rear window from the inside and out, occasionally i can see a bunch of nickel/quarter sized circles that look like... pockets of air or something. they are whiteish or blueish im not sure.

i have not done anything to my rear window. no tint, etc.

anybody else notice this or is it just me???

thanks in advance,
James.

Ive never see this in my car, is it a brand new car? Sometimes if you've never cleaned the glass you can see the marks from where the suction cups picked up the glass at the facotry, thats the only thing i can think of.

Totally normal. Especially visable if you wear polarized sunglasses... Its distortion in the glass caused by the heat process in making the curved piece...Generally the more curved the piece the more evident the distortion. Nothing you can do to get rid of it sorry.....

If it is that ^^^^^^ then maybe get your windows tinted. I have polarized glasses and ive never seen those. Maybe the window tint covers em up.

I have the same thing on my rear windows.. It looks like a manufacturing defect in the glass, and tinting the window only enhances the problem..

I thought that some companies smoke tint the glass itself, and that this was a defect occuring from that over time. Of course, I've done no research on the matter, that was just my guess.
