Typical visibility and wiper symptoms owners report

Second-row side windows develop a hazy or cloudy film that appears especially strong when sunlight hits the glass.
Owners describe the haze as embedded in the acoustic laminate layer of the glass, so it cannot be removed by cleaning.
Some report a clear contrast between the hazy second-row windows and clear third-row or front windows on the same vehicle.
Rear door and rear windows are also described as hazy, making it harder to see other traffic or objects while driving or merging.
A separate complaint notes wind noise at 35-40 mph from the front driver's window along with rear window haze.
