Windshield - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

For those of you with the new cars, do you have any "waviness" in your windshield? I took delivery yesterday, and there appears to be waviness in the windshield right where my focal point is. If I shift up or down, the view gets distorted.

That sounds annoying

DocWalt · 11-20-2021, 06:40 PM

I've had windshields that do that replaced (after quite a fight) with other cars, hopefully you can get it taken care of!

Are you able to take a pic of it? Never dealt with this before so just curious what it looks like

DeathEvil · 11-20-2021, 07:25 PM

I would think something like that shouldn't pass the QC check

soundman98 · 11-20-2021, 07:27 PM

it's a defect. they need to replace the windshield.

all glass has some waviness to it, but it should take a ton of effort to find. most of my vehicles, i notice it looking at the far bottom right corner.

My wife and I don't see any waviness in my windshield. I'd agree with the others, if it is bad enough that you noticed, it's a defect.

I noticed it as soon as I sat down. It seems to be smack in the middle. I'm unsure I can get a good picture of it. I'll have to stop in on Monday to get it checked out.

Just to chime in, no waviness on mine.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but have you tried cleaning the inside and outside glass? In case there is some oil or something on the window causing the distortion.

Small update to say that they're ordering a windshield.

Interceptor777 · 11-29-2021, 07:23 PM

Also just to chime in, mines perfect. This was probably a one off defect.

dragoontwo · 11-29-2021, 07:36 PM

Let's hope so.
