errrmmm... that property would be polarization... many windshields are polarized 
these days ;)

to find out if yours is, get some polarized sunglasses and turn them at an angle 
until the image goes dark...

FWIW: be careful with cheap polarized sunglasses... i bought some one time and 
they weren't aligned with my windshield... i had to take them back because i 
couldn't see to drive! ;)
