    I noticed today in a certain light a long hair line that protrudes from the top mirror area and down about 4 in into the windshield and runs part way across the driver side and also on the passenger side the same but much shorter.

    Looking at it close theres no signs of any damage so im wondering if this is a factory antenna in the glass or a hairline fracture in the glass?

    Can anyone confirm if they have something similar as well. Its hard to take a pic because of lighting but I tried.

    Bueller? perhaps someone can check their car in the garage with a phone light and see if this is an antenna. From inside just look at the top of windshield about 4 in down, right around where you would run a tint strip. Driver side is line is longer to about the middle of the windshield, and the passenger side is short about 5in. Im freaking out a bit.

    PS if anyone is wondering whats in the bubble wrap its an Assetto Fiorano front spoiler kit...

    I can confirm this is an antenna. Not a cracked window.

    antenna, I have the same. Freaked me out at 1st when I was mirror tapping my radar, and thought I caused the crack from removing the mirror housing. there is an antenna on both sides of the windshield.

    Thank you so much for confirming, I was really worried as I just had Windshield Skin put on my car and thought maybe the installers had cracked the windshield. Good to know!
