I just took delivery of a 2009 Cobalt SS Turbocharged and noticed there is a dark dot on the inside of my sunroof glass. I tried rubbing alcohol, windex, and Goo Gone but it's not budging. I have no idea what it is either. Would it be paint? I don't want to use a razor blade for fear of damaging the stock tint.

Weird Residue inside sunroof glass

The stock tint is in the glass, so you can't damage it with a blade...but glass today seems to have all kinds of optical imperfections, particularly the curved back glasses that have the "waffle weave" pattern in them. Usually small (virtually) flat pieces (like a sunroof) are pretty flawless, but it sounds like it just might be a defect within the glass that you won't be able to do anything about.

Can you feel it indented or sticking out?

metroplex said:Yes, it's sticking out. I shined a strong light on it and it appears to be a dab of paint or residue. Are you sure the stock tint is embedded in the glass? I thought solar tint was still an actual tint.
That color's mixed into the glass, man.
All factory "tint" I've come across is as described.Setec Astronomy said:The stock tint is in the glass, ...
If you're uncomfortable with that, and still unsure go back and ask the dealership. They can confirm or contradict.
