    So I have had my Truck for 6 months now and while cleaning it I noticed two circles on both the passenger side and drivers side windows. Never noticed them before but you can only see them in certain angles with certain light.

    Was finally able to get a pic of them the other day, you will have to look closely to around where the sun spot is.

    Am I crazy or does anyone else have these?

    "Water spots occur when mineral-rich water comes into contact with your windows. When hard water dries on glass surfaces, it leaves behind minerals that build up and form chalky white deposits over time."

    When I did a Google search.

    that is from the round suction cups when installing the glass at the factory.

    It’s normal.

    It’s what happens when you drive a tundra. All the boobies pressed on the glass leave a residue.

    Effective use of Google, plus 700 internets for you, however, I will be deducting 10,000 internets from you as your post absolutely missed the mark of the OP's question. If you would take time to look at his pictures you would see the faint outline of what appears to be suction cup rings on his glass.

    OP these are likely left over from when the window was installed at the factory, I'd recommend using a 50/50 solution of Isopropyl alcohol and water and then clay barring your windows. If that doesn't work you could try taking it back to the dealer and see if they are able to remove them.

    I saw the suction cups part too, but didn’t think that was applicable

    I had some of those suction cup crop circles on my class too. Glass scrub'd, Vinegar/distilled water mix to clean off, clay bar and polished....crop circles gone. This shouldve been addressed when the truck was being prepped for delivery but whatever.

    I didn’t spend the money to just swap out stuff.
    Unfortunately the Doc left out the part about those being man boobies.
