anybody know?

i can't explain it right now. I know the glass has a slight curvature itself and that the glass is polarized, so that might have something to do with the effect. Probably the best theory i have is that the light rays are right at the critical angle of the glass so that there is almost total...

well the curves are concave with respect to the bottom right of the windsheild

check out the pic

I can visibely see the rays from the sun hitting the cars windshield and the visible rays from the sun to my windshield have a definite curvature.

I know there is refraction by snells law and what I see through the window would not be exactly the path of the original light, but what explains the appearance of the light bending?

I really need to figure this out. I was driving down a straight road with the sun to my right at an 85* angle. You would expect the light rays to appear straight because light cannot bend, but the the rays appear to bend across the glass. Can anyone help me explain this...? I know it has...
