Laminated windshield

Picked up my new F250 and found this after cleaning my windshield. It does not look like bubbles, but like a residue left inbetween the lamination. Cannot feel it from the inside or outside. Any ideas, i hate to have to take it back to the dealership. Worried they will scratch something or get my headliner stained somehow during the process. There is Always something!

If it's truly between the laminate layers and that's the only area you see the defect, I'd mention it to the dealer so it's documented but just let if go for now. I'd be more concerned that they'd damage something else or create a leak in the process of changing it.

Sorry, I "jumped the gun". I had tried getting the spots off with soap and water and they would not come off, so i freaked out. They were ultra smooth and no texture and would not come off with a fingernail. It appeared they were inbetween the glass. I took just a dab of rubbing compound on a microfiber cloth and they came off. Dont know what it was but very relieved. Did not want to take it to the dealer.

That's actually a good tip. I use a clay bar on my window glass to really get the spots and grime rubbed off. It works great and makes a big difference once or twice a year.
