Firstly thanks to the mods for our spangly new place to hang out.

Anyone else noticed what looks like very fine crazing in the glass, noticeable when driving into bright sunlight, it can also be seen at night giving headlights a star burst effect and can be very distracting.

As far as I know it’s the original windscreen, is this just rubbish OE glass or is mine just a poor example.

Good suggestions but not heated and no coating that I'm aware of.

Quite hard to explain but when you look really closely it's lots of small cracks all the same length (approx 3mm), it's consistent over the whole screen right into the corners. looks like a manufacturing fault, but wondered if this was a common Kia thing.
