journeygal Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I have 2000 miles on my 2015 Dodge Journey and have a streak down the rear window. It starts at the top of the rear lift gate and continues 3/4 of the way down. It's wider at the top. I thought it was sap or something but when I washed the Journey, it didn't clean off. I tried Windex and that didn't work. My husband said it's probably between the two sheets of glass (the defroster being between them). We brought it to the dealer who said this has happened before and they usually replace the window. Now, the mechanic says he can't see it and there's nothing to fix. Has anyone else had this streak thing happen'? Thanks. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Not me. If you can see it plain as day, take it back and find another tech or advisor who can see it, point it out. It's either there or not. Welcome to the forum. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Sounds like delamination.Position the vehicle so that the defect is as apparent as possible, the take a picture of the problem. rolly and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Ask them to walk outside and then show them. It may not be visible inside. jkeaton and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeygal Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Come to find out the problem was caused by antifreeze in the washer fluid. The service manager said Chrysler ships the vehicle with antifreeze in the washer fluid reservoir to prevent freezing and cracking of the reservoir. The fluid dropped down the back window and in our hot Texas sun baked on. The dealer used some potent window cleaner and fine steel wool to remove the stain. He gave my husband some of the cleaner and steel wool for any future problems. Hmmm... well at least the stain is gone.
