Window Stain? What is this???

I was washing my car today when and when I got to the front windshield I notcied this little streak. It's only noticeable when light hits it otherwise in the shade its gone, but I tried scrubbing it off and using window cleaning products but nothing. I did this for both the inside and outside, anyone have any idea/suggestions?

Almost looks like the plastic laminate between the inner/outer panes of glass had a defect in it and that's what you're seeing. If it's not visible when you're driving, I would just say ignore it, but if it is, then maybe take it back to the dealer and see if they'll replace it as a defective windshield.

If you lightly rub a dry finger or a fingernail back and forth over the mark, can you feel it?

Use a clay bay. Maybe that'll remove it.
