Weird question about back glass

[lugosteidel]

I am wondering if someone can provide insight into this. It’s a strange thing I noticed on the back glass of my 2021 model Y. I live in Seattle and do not get too much sun. Over the weekend it was very sunny and when the sun hit the back glass at a specific angle, I noticed someone had handwritten something on my glass. See photos. I went to clean both inside and out but the marks never disappeared. I even used rubbing alcohol thinking someone had used some type of marker. The writing can only be seen from inside the vehicle when the light hits it right. At other times it cannot be seen. From the outside it looks normal. After trying to clean it without success , it occurred to me that this writing is inside between the two glass panels. Has anyone seen this before? This is not a joke. It’s an enigma.

I think that would drive me insane, and I would probably pay to replace the window.

Are these photos before or after you tried to clean it? It looks really dirty except for the one corner.

Can you make out the words? It looks reversed, like it was written from the outside. I flipped one of the images to try to read it. The lower left word looks like "Jorge," and the upper right phrase looks like "united services." I cannot make out the three letters in the upper left box.

After. Yes it looks very dirty except that corner. I cleaned it thoroughly and it looks dirty. I cannot explain it.

Ha. Yes it says Jorge and United services. The words were written on the outside. Please note I’m not making this up. I am trying to figure it out.

May have been written before you took delivery, when it was transported to the PNW. Car carrier/transporter or what not. Try using a vinegar (acid-like) solution and slowly rub it out. Sometimes hard water may have been “baked” into the previous marker writings and that’s what you’re seeing… hope that makes sense and good luck!

So u were right. I used vinegar 30% and it took it off. Industrial strength vinegar thank you soooo much! Probably had this writing there for a while

Interesting! It appears the vinegar removed the dirt/dust from the window around the writing. Perhaps we should all use vinegar to clean our windows.
