Recently I've spent a whole lot of time staring at my Insight's windows, working through window tinting and vent visor questions. ( we really need to plan better weekends!)
There is an odd optical effect on the hatchback glass, noticable when viewing the glass from outdoors, and wearing polarized sunglasses....the entire hatchback window surface appears covered in whitish thumb-size spots! The pattern is very regular and covers the whole surface.
I wondered if the glass was already tinted (is there a way to tell?) and if this could be an effect from a tinting film. My husband thinks that the glass itelf has become polarized due to the heat from the defrosting wires. We checked the hatchback glass on two other cars w/ defrosting wires, but the pattern was no where near as evident as it is on the Insight.
