| Our 2006 buick rendevous has a windshield that has a distortion present that is distracting while you drive. dealer said the distortion is in all rendevous because of the laminate used for heads up display (we do not have a hud in the vehicle). if this is the case and all rendevous have this distortion the windshields should be recalled, they present a safety hazard and i'm not sure of their integrity in a crash. *jb | |||
