Default Windshield black band damage
Took delivery on an A5 and just noticed this on the black band on the windshield. Is this normal? Should I ask the dealer to fix?

I have exactly same thing on my A5 SB front passenger side windshield. After seeing your post, I believe this is normal now.

This is pretty funny, like they put it there to mess with people who would notice.

You can look at this post in the thread about my poor cracked windshield (only 3 weeks after getting my car!) where the "frit holes" are discussed by another OCD owner :-)
