I Just got my new 8 two days ago and after getting it home I realized if you look at the back window at a certain direction it seems to have a almost bubble look to it. Like if there was a bad tint job done to it. But I know it doest come with tint.
Anybody have this dilema. I wonder if it will effect future tint.
Help!

 

Mine has the same problem. It seems more like haze rather than bubble though. Is that intrinsic problem of back window?

 

I don't think I've even looked at my rear window.

 

Well I guess I'll see what happens when I get it tinted.

 

same problem here. Just noticed it the other day

 

any chance y'all are looking at it with polarized sunglasses on?

 

Nope, my car does it too, all the cars on the dealers lot did it, as well as some g35s I think its normal.

 

yeah ive seen it too in my rx8 ... i saw it at the dealer at well so im hopin its normal

 

Yep, spotted that affect here too.

Very bizarre. It's less defined than the bubbles you get from a bad tint job, it's more like wavy hazy in the tint.

Strange.

 

Do the RX-8's have "Enegy Absorbent Glass"? If so, that is most likely what you are seeing. A lot of cars have this these days, and thats exactly what it looks like on angles.

 

"Enegy Absorbent Glass"? If you are right about that it would be interesting. I'm guessing it doesnt effect tint?
Very Interesting

 

Anyone ever figure out what this is all about? Is it a problem or not? I just got my 05 Friday and noticed it today. Any info would be appreciated

 

It there as an energy absorber so your windshield doesn’t break when the car flexes slightly, lower end BMW's have it BAD.

 

So it's a regular part of the car and not a defect? Kinda strange really. Looks like crap!

 

better than broken glass.

 

I have it also. Getting my windows tinted Friday so I will check it again.

 

i can see it sometimes, but it i is very noticable when i have polarized sunglasses on
