matcouthon Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I bought a GS300-2006 model on July-29-2006. I have noticed image distortion in rear windshield when I was looking through the rear view mirror. I have confirmed that the rear view mirror, is fine, and the problem lies in the rear windshield. Problem Identification: Sit on driver's seat, turn head and look through rear windshield. Alternatively look through rear view mirror. Gently bob your head up and down. I can see image distortion (the object gets a wavy appearance as I move my head up and down). I went to the dealership to check other GS300's. I checked 3 of them and they had similar distortions. The distortions are very much evident even in the right hand corner of front windshield (where there is lot of curvature). I even checked a GS430, which had similar problems. Can others please share their experience by checking their rear windshields? The problem has been reported in Toyota Avalon also. I found this while trying to search on google if others had reported similar issues, but could not find any references with lexus.

LexKid630 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Sounds like the glass is just that way. I am not sure how much they can do to fix it. If they are all like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I sometimes notice the glass bends towards the edges of glass. I'm not sure why Lexus wants it to be like that. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexKid630 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I have no idea why they would make the glass like this on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found the problem to be concentrated in the middle section of windshield near central vertical heating element line. Sometimes the image instead of being wavy tends to elongate. To see what I am saying try sitting in drivers seat and look at front windshield right bottom corner and move your head up and down very little. The similar distortion I have seen in mine and the others at the dealership. It is good if you don't have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
