Pitted Windshield
It looks almost like someone sprinkled ultra fine sugar all over it.
(driving in to the sun) Is there any way to restore it or is there a
product out there that'll help? Anything to steer clear from? If
anyone has input, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

I've asked glass people and the answere has always been if you polish it to
remove the pits the view will become distorted.

I just had the windshield replaced in my 00TJ. When they become that
pitted the insurance companies consider them a hazard. Cost me nothing
same as breakage.

Not all insurance companies are as enlightened. My insurer said "no" when
I asked to replace a pitted windshield, their reasoning was that they
cover damage, not wear and tear. On the other hand, new glass for my `79
CJ-5 project cost me about $125, installed. When you consider the
possibilities, that's cheap.
