I just realized this morning when raining, there is a marking on the windshield by the driver side. Looks like number 3. I can feel it with my nail, it seems like during manufacturing they marked the windshield with some kind of marker then put a coating on the glass. So the marking does not get coated. see video.

Does any of you have the same marking?
This is like an eyesore and really annoying to me. How can get rid or recoat this?

Looks like a crayon or wax pencil was used to mark the windshield. I‘d research on how to remove on YouTube

Coat the windshield with some glass cleaner or babysoap/water mix in a spray bottle and use a plastic razor and see if it comes off. You could get away with a normal razor blade but they like to scratch the glass if it isn't lubed up enough.

You might try a clay bar with lubrication.

Rubbing alcohol if the above suggestions don't work.

Poor dealer prep.

Thanks, All.
I will try glass cleaner and move all the way up from there
