I bought my 2020 CX-30 in July 2020. I have never noticed any distortion with the windshield. [I tried to post this comment but they require that I select a model for my Mazda, which they do not list.]

Alias says he has never noticed any distortion so I guess he does not need a new windshield. I think he was trying to post on the Car Complaints site .

That makes two of us, but at least it’s refreshing to see someone posting about the absence of a problem.

It’s like _The Spanish Inquisition_.  
Nobody expected that, either.

Do you perhaps mean there was no distortion _until recently?_ If that’s the case, it would indicate a defect in the windshield.

It may be something that was recently noticed but been there all along. I had one I noticed after a bit, but forgot about it, can’t even tell you what car.
