Low quality windows on our civics?

If you notice the front windshield carefully, youll notice slight ripples or deformations in the glass..... bothers me a lot... id ont notice this on cars like Camry.... also on my 2k2 civic ex coupe, i notice slight slight deformities in the steel on the side.... im EXTREMELY PICKY and i look at everything with EXTREME GODLY detail... i want the steel to be straight and free of dings... the car is brand brand new, but there is a slight slight deformity on the left rear panel right underneath the rear-side window. do anyof you notice this? normal from the steel stamping process? i also notice deformities around the door handles

I'm picky as hell, the only abnormal part on the car is the door trim.. doesnt meet with the dash tight enough at the door joint.

windshield is fine on mine.

I don't notice anything wrong with the windows, but there are very slight deformities in the sheet metal, but it really is pretty typical in ANY vehicle. You just don't notice it on other cars, because you don't drive and live with them every day.

Look on the good side of the civic.

If u keep looking for faults you're just going to hate your civic!

I swear that all the cars in the auto industry use the same company for glass [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I notice the slight ripples in the glass too but i see thoes everywhere.. even on rides like beamers and benz's so i wouldnt worry about it. Unless you go all out with Lexan

I know exactly what he is talking about with the ripples on the windshield, I've noticed it also. I see it when I'm turning right and looking thought the windshield at a angle and the sun hits it just right. I have never seen this before on any other Honda I've owned and it is strange, but it doesn't bother me because I don't notice it very often.

It almost looks like the blurring you see when heat is rising off the road on a hot and sunny day.
