between the glass panes? they would need to warranty that windshield if that is the case. I want to say i have faint ones in my 2024 but i never thought to check if they are between the panes.

Don't waste your time going to the dealer. There are products to polish the glass and remove such marks. Here is one of them.

I had the same mark on the w/s of a 958-gen Touareg for the 8 years and dozens of washes using cloth and glass cleaner. No change. It didn’t bother me.

Well, that's helpful.
Definitely have it checked out as that would annoy me, especially since it looks to be in your line of sight. You said it's a 2023, did you buy this as a CPO?

What I propose is not for cleaning the glass but for polishing it. It removes all traces of suction cups and other indelible dirt.
I had some mysterious inscriptions on my glass that were visible only when the glass was wet and no agent, including solvents, was able to remove them.
Only polishing the glass with this Sonax car glass polish definitely solved the problem.

Well, then I'd take it in and let them sort it out. If it's in between the layers, it should be a warranty item. I'd be prepared to answer the questions, "how long have you noticed it?" and, "why didn't you notify us earlier?"
Otherwise, maybe a rock will hit it on the highway.

Dawn dishwashing soap.

i have seen people use a cut up potato to wipe it onto the glass surface and then wipe off soon after.
