so i have a 2008 STi and i noticed today while laying in my passenger seat there's the number 79 in the right hand corner tinted area of the windshield but it's transparent. does anyone with a 08+ have this in their windshield???

 

the tint cant go beyond that or its illegal in some states

 

No it's not that number. It's TRANSPARENT. it's maybe about an inch and a half

 

Got a picture?

 

no i tried but it doesn't show in the picture. it's backwards when i'm inside the car. i'm going to have to try again and take a picture tomorrow during the day time.

 

so here are the pictures. i've tried seeing if i could take it off from the outside and inside and no luck

 

i would have never even noticed something like that

 

Are you the first owner of the sti? Maybe the previous owner had a sticker "79" for a rally/track/drag event..

 

I'm the first owner. IDK but it's irritating. I've cleaned it over and over and can't get rid of it

 

Hahaha, same here! That's quite the interesting catch.

 

Perhaps it is a number in a manufacturing batch. Example: windshield #79 of 250

 

maybe ... just wondering if anyone else with a 2008+ has it. it's kind of irritating because i know it's there

 

we had a customer complain about something like that where I work. It was one of the "09" stickers that sales put on the windshield and after sitting in the sun. Guess it "baked" into the tint.

 

hahha interesting. amazing you actually noticed it haha

 

doesn't look like a sticker. but yeah, i didn't notice it until i laid down in the passenger seat which i hardly ever sit in
