    I gotta '11 Taco, first yoda ever...and I'm lovin it!! However, I noticed on some occasions, I can see where the factory had suction cups on the front windshield from installing them. Any way I can get those marks off? They can be annoying at times.:stirthepot: Thanks guys.

    Take it to the dealer and tell the service desk you don't know how to get the spots off.

    They may bring a few co-workers over to listen in on your complaint... You'll certainly give them something to smile about for a few days. :D

    I'm with BMOC about the sandpaper.

    60 grit paper and about 10 minutes of hard scrubbing will make it disappear.

    I had those marks when I first purchased mine. After a few weekly washes they went away.

    Like some have suggested, I think you just need the right glass cleaner.

    When my 2012 was new it seemed to have hard water spots that only showed up when the right amount of moisture was on the windows, and especially noticeable when washing them with Windex. No matter how many times I washed with Windex they wouldn't go away.

    Then I tried a sample of Sprayway glass cleaner that I'd had sitting around unused for years. Cleaned twice with Sprayway and everything gone. Pure perfect clear glass. Not affiliated with them at all. http://www.spraywayinc.com/

    2300 miles in and I've got them. I've cleaned my windshield a few times with automotive glass cleaner, they keep coming back. I assume they'll go away with more effort.
