Hahaha! They are super tiny and might be difficult to capture on camera. I'll see if I can capture them later today. Sorry if your scroll finger has been injured in the long four page journey you embarked on...I scrolled through 3 pages and not a single picture.
Had the same problem on a new 2005 Honda S2000. When windshield wasI have a sport and no upgraded sound system so I wouldn't have the special windshield?
I think what you guys are referring to as "bubbles" are actually micro-gouges in the glass from hitting contaminated air and road debris and possible atmospheric fall-out. Every single vehicle I've ever owned has that issue. The only way to prevent it is to cover your windshield with laminate, similar to what NASCAR teams use during races, or to leave the vehicle in the garage.
In no way is this a defect or issue to be concerned about. The windshield is doing its job...keeping that same stuff from sandblasting your face.
And if your hypothesis is correct, this means at this rate within a year my windshield would be so "micro-gouged" that I would no longer have to ability to safely navigate my Jeep down the road ...I think what you guys are referring to as "bubbles" are actually micro-gouges in the glass from hitting contaminated air and road debris and possible atmospheric fall-out.

After a few cold beers, the problem should go away and you will not notice it as bad.
If you think that a phenomenon that is present on almost every windshield in America is a flaw, then you're looking at the "ignorance" right there.These defects have been in the windshield since the first day I picked it up fresh off the train. I've been in the auto body profession for almost 30 years, I've been a journeyman painter for 18 years. This is not on the face of the windshield, it is in the glass. I have a very keen eye for looking INTO paint so as to differentiate between different pearls and metallics giving me the ability to precisely adjust or tint a color to match exactly to the OEM finish on a vehicle. This is pertinent information, it shows that I can look INTO a surface and differentiate between "on" a surface and "in" a surface. It IS a defect. But thank you for instructing me that, "this isn't an issue I need to be concerned with." I feel so much better now... *I don't typically reply to your kind of ignorance, but I'm feeling a bit frisky this morning. Hahaha! :cwl:

Yes, this. I noticed this awhile back and thought for a moment that I was sitting in one of my cars that we've had for 10 years. Almost looks like a windshield on a car that has seen 7-10 years of road sand. I even used a clay bar and it's still there. WTH FCA. This should be a good one to convince the service manager is an issue.These defects have been in the windshield since the first day I picked it up fresh off the train.

I thought the specks might be some kind of overspray or contaminate on the surface, but after thoroughly cleaning the windshield and trying to remove contaminates via steel wool they are still there... Maybe I got a defective windshield or it's possibly is a biproduct of the acoustic laminated windshield? Either way, it bugs the crap outta me!
