A method of making a vehicle windshield. First and second flat glass sheets are bent together into a shape desired for the windshield. The bent sheets are separated, and an interlayer (e.g., PVB) positioned therebetween. After the sheets have been heat laminated to one another via the interlayer, the convex tin side of the outer sheet is ion beam milled to shave off a portion thereof. Then, a diamond-like carbon (DLC) inclusive coating is deposited using an ion beam(s) on the milled convex shaped surface of the laminate to produce a windshield. In certain optional embodiments, the windshield may be hydrophobic in nature.
