Default Bubbles inside top edge of windows

My A8 has developed some small bubbles in the window glass near the top corners of the passenger windows. I checked with a tint shop to make sure it was not bubbles in the window tint, he confirmed it was bubbles in between the panes of glass. Does anyone know of a kit to fix this?

I don't think it can be fixed. Only solution I have ever heard of is to replace the glass.

What year of D4? Still under warranty? Talk to dealer?

I saw this on my D3, which had an aftermarket tint. The bubbles were in the laminated glass, not the tint film - but they were caused by heat used while the the tint being was fitted...... Only fix is new glass I'm afraid.

2011 with 60k miles, I think warranties might be expired at this point.

Thanks for the info all, think I'm just gonna have to live with it, fortunately bubbles aren't very noticeable.
