Default ''crop circles'' in my windshield

I just got my 013 Scab xlt and noticed theres four 5'' symetric circles inlaid in my windshield, they are evenly spaced and can only be seen at certain angles and temperatures. they have identical line patterns inside the circles and originate between the layers of glass as they won't rub off from either side. Maybe it's robot handprints or ???. has anybody else got or seen these things ?

Most likely the suction cups used to install the windshield. They should go away with a good cleaning... Or it's:

they won't rub off from the inside or outside,in fact rubbing 1 square '' made the whole thing dissappear temporarily untill the heat from the friction dissapated and then it returned in full, sounds like the X Files eh ?

Try some Isopropyl alcohol if that doesn't work I'd try some claybar with soap water beyond that maybe some sort of compound for glass?

Take it to the dealer and tell them to do it.

Haha I have noticed 2 of them on my windshield since I got the truck. I figured it was the suction things from the factory as well

Hmmmm that's odd. I don't have that on mine. Probably because my windshield is so dirty haha
