I am always wondering how is the quality of my 2004 Sequoia windshield glass quality. It is less than two years old with around 40,000miles on it. The glass seems to have some kind of sparkles while seeing it against the sun. The windshield is most of the time cleaned very well since this tiny sparkles in the glass disturbing the view. It is way "grainier" than my other two vehicles--Chrysler T&C and Honda Accord.
Is there any aftermarket nice quality glass to replace? Is it something disposable after a certain mileage? I remember it is not so perfect from very beginning of ownership...Did my previous highway driving create the effect? I remember pretty often I saw sands and tiny stuff hit on windshield since that section of I-95 got so many trucks carrying construction materials. The degree of sunshade on the Sequoia is also unsatisfactory. It makes me feel hot and burning after driving for a while in hot summer. Again, my van and Accord did a better job on shielding sunlight/UV.
Do you feel the same way? Anyone found a good solution? Winter is coming and therefore burning sun is longer an issue at this moment but the clarity and transparency of windshield is still a concern.
