weird foggy spotson rear windshield?

Post by Zim_Zim »

this has been making me scratch my head 4 awhile, ive just never bothered to ask anyone. why do some cars back windows have weird light foggy-like spots on them(hard to explain). you cant wipe it off and it's obviously permenant. ive seen cars other than mx3's as well with this problem on the back windshield. anyone know? cuz i have it. :shrug:

yup, i've seen them too...i have 2 mx-3's and they both do the same thing. it only happens when it drops in temperature a little, other than that it's fine. maybe it's the shape and thickness of the glass? :shrug:

rear defroster & heat stress over the years causes that wavy strange look.
