I see this on mine, but only through certain kinds of sunglasses. In fact, I see this on lots of cars when I'm wearing sunglasses.

Can't see the spots without sunglasses. Can you?

I think they came that way. I've noticed it, but never really thought about it until now. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Mine is a 98.

I think that polarized sunglasses do that to all tempered windows.

It's normal. You'll see it on many different cars, not just the C5s.

I see the spots when I'm wearing my polarized sunglasses, or when drinking too much Captain Morgan.
