    Being it is on two surfaces in a continuous line it has to be after the fact of assembly. Could of been done during a service visit ?
    Thats my bet, dealer did it in a repair.
    A lot of times they will jam parts in a car rather than store them out of it.
    No way is this sun damage.
    Had it done once on a jeep of mine, they screwed up the rear tint by hitting the windows with the stored parts.

    I have actually taken a flashlight at night to try and simulate the sun to see if I get reflections off of anything to get a match. There is nothing between the sun and the vehicle except some trees. I couldn't get the mirrors to reflect into that location at all.

    Do you have a phone charger cord that might have a short out or get extremely hot?

    One set of lines turned up while it was in for service. They had it for 2 days in the shop trying to figure out what the electrical problem was.

    Push harder on the dealer. File a case. You'll get it fixed.
    What will it cost them $30 for a happy customer ?

    Seriously though, there are laser pointers that'll melt plastic.
    OP, was the arc you saw green?

    If you have a sunroof look at your exterior roof area and see if there's any damage on top of the roof
