Has anyone else had a snowflake form in their windshield? I noticed this the day before yesterday after the car sat for a few days. Crappy picture attached. It can not be felt in either side of the glass, so it is internal.
An update to my windshield problem: I took my car in last Friday and they covered it under warranty and ordered new front glass for it. I have to bring it back sometime this week or next. If it is a snowflake then it is a manufacturing defect in the glass.
It occurs when not all the air is pulled out between the two layers of glass and the safety film in between. Ford will replace the windshield under warranty. x2 My new Explorer had this same issue about 4 snowflakes in the bottom of the windshield.
It seems that it's only on the passenger side of the windshield, and temperature affects it. Me too. But still curious what it is and why.
I originally thought it was faulty glass but after that snowflake thing above, wondering if they are sandwiching some sort of anti. the problem is that some of the acoustical film that is between the glass in the windshield, when left out in the sun and heated up, will form, what looks like, a snowflake. they sent us pictures and it looks exactly like a snowflake, it's weird.
so if you get one, now you know. take it in to the dealer. 2008 malibu - SOLD! A snowflake pattern (delamination) appearing on the windshield This bulletin involves inspecting the windshield for snowflaking/delamination and possibly replacing.
Replace the windshield. Refer to the detailed service procedures available in DealerCONNECT> Service Library under: Service Info>23 - Body / Stationary Glass / Windshield / Removal and Installation. This window is such a snowflake.

Given how many near-60-degree angles there are in the pictures, I assume it has something to do with the sixfold symmetry of how ice crystals and snowflakes form, somehow projected on to the inner surface of my windshield.
