The condition appears as faint shadowy spots and or lines in the glass. They become visible in the transmission and in reflection of light off the glass surface. The condition is more visible when viewed from an angle, rather than directly facing the glass. When polarized sunglasses are worn, they can dramatically enhance the appearance of the spots and lines. The spots seem to be easier to see on a sunny day when the light comes from a blue sky or is reflected from clouds. They are less visible on a gray, cloudy day. Tempered or heat treated glass can be found on the vehicle side and the back glass areas. An example of how the phenomenon appears is shown in this document.
