Default Bubbles in Fiberglass

I purchased a set of 37D Boss Bags and one of the fiberglass shells has pin holes and bubbles in the glass on the inside of the bag. West End Motorsports and Boss Bags say that this is normal and there is nothing wrong.
I have always been under the impression that bubbles in fiberglass are problematic and that they are not a normal or sought after feature.

I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.

So you bought a product and your not “Happy” with it.
So, take them back for a refund.
Call your credit card Co.
Fix them yourself with a fiberglass / body filler.
Take them to someone that knows what they are doing and $$$$ to have them fix it.
Or my favorite, just have some cheese with that whine.
