MrT Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 The galaxy glass all has a layer of black dots on the inside of the glass at the edges. Do these black dots do anything other than enhance the appearance? I would like to remove a very small area of these to fit a small optical rain sensor. Has anyone any experience of removing any of these dots? Will they scratch off or dissolve off with cellulose thinners or are they embedded in the glass? Quote
rwtomkins Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 i'm guessing but i think it's a clever cosmetic device: you can't clean to the edge of the glass on many of the interior windows and if the black dots weren't there, a dirty smeary mess would be visible around the edge from the outside. don't know how you get them off but you can feel them on the interior glass surface so possibly they would succumb to scraping.

seatkid Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Dots are a cosmetic fading effect on the printed band on the edge which stops you seeing the bonding glue under the glass. Quote
GaryM Posted May 14, 2004 Report Posted May 14, 2004 Window tinters have problems with the dots too. I stops the tink sticking fully and leaves a lighter effect around the edge. Reading posts they literally scrape them off or use wet-n-dry. Gary Quote
