it ain’t comming off it’s in the glass. You can go over it lightly with a razor blade and it’s right into the glass

On my drive home from the dealer I got a rock chip in my windshield. Lariat 502A
Unless you intend never to drive the thing, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Put a sticker over it.
Detail under the hood?????? Are you kidding me?
I don't even detail my corvette under the hood.

After reading this thread, my sincere answer to your question is that you are being far too fussy.

I doesn't matter that it's a KR, it is a truck made of a million parts and probably 200+ of them have scratches on them. Fortunately, you can only see the one on your rear glass.
Also, I'd never consider having them open up the glass to replace it for that...the tech will make 5 scratches and chips on your paint while he's working....and probably leave an oily hand-print on your headliner.
It's not worth it....relax, forget about it, maybe take up a meditation class..

I used to be picky, but I bought a 4x4 to go off roading and expected to eventually scratch it. I may have some from last weekend when i backed into an area of low brush to turn around. To me, it's gonna get some cosmetic damage, be it door dings or scratches. I've learned not to let it bother me any longer.

I would accept that on an XL, not a KR. Make them replace the window.
