What you're looking at is the top of my windshield. There are tiny "bubbles" almost all the way across. Kind of odd for a new car, let alone a $65k car. The car is brand new, 2016. The windshield has the correct GM markings and is set in perfectly. I'm I being too picky? Is this a normal?

A photo would be helpful.

Sorry, IOS 10 on a IPhone 5S is a nightmare. Pics don't load correctly

And there it is....


Doesn't look normal, hard to tell from pic.

If you look closely there are Stingray emblems in there. Also check out the rear window.

Can't tell anything from that photo.

I'll try for a better pic tomorrow

Here's anothe shot from the driver's side.

That does not look normal to me. I would go to your dealer and check out the other cars on the lot, then bring it to service and tell them the problem. If they start in with "that is normal" tell them none of the other Corvettes on the lot have it"... assuming they don't after you check them out.

Are the bubbles IN the windshield or around it. If around it, it looks like resin or whatever they used to seal it.

Thanks. I HATE having anyone touch my cars after the factory has put it all together. Some of you may feel differently, but it's never the same after. Is the strip on top of the windshield removable? Maybe it wasn't pushed down all the way when attached?

Unfortunately, in the glass.

Looks messed up like it wasnt glued down properly. I'll check mine when I get home, but don't remember seeing anything like that...

No, definitely not normal. No need to look at other cars as it would confirm if/if not they also have defective windshields. The tiny bubbles are likely caused by contaminants/air that got in between the layers of glass and lamination during assembly. It may or may not get worse and it may affect the integrity of the glass. It should be replaced,

Surprised that would get past QC?

Probably wasn't visible at the time of the cars manufacturing. The bubbles often don't develop and become visible until the car has had enough exposure to the sun. The heating/cooling cycles causes the interior separation or delamination process to occur.

Thanks guys, but not feeling any better. Still means some jackass who could care less about my new car has to rip off the current windshield and replace it. Hating that thought

I have seen this adhesive imperfection before. If it isn't leaking don't worry about it.

Are the "tiny bubbles" in the glass or in it the top seal?


Maybe you can take a better picture; WITHOUT using the flash and outside in the natural light.

I don't think I'd mess with it. No one else will even notice. I'm like most, I'd rather endure the little things than have someone screw up my car and take the chance that fixing it might end up making things worse than just leaving it alone.
