Default Windshield Pits

I've noticed some pits in the windshield of my 06 C6. The weird thing is the pits look like they are inside the glass, not on the surface. You really only see them if you are driving into the setting or rising sun. Does anyone else have this problem?

Pitting is common on most cars. I have a new windshield so I'm thinking of installing Windshield Skins. I got a tip on this product from forum member Duke/Earl in SoCal. He has it installed on his Ron Fellows Z06 and it blends into the windshield real well. I could see where he took a few hits, one would probably have chipped his windshield. Costs about $350.

i know this sounds crazy, but i've experienced this w/ several cars for about three years. the glass seems to be softer and more vulnerable
