Orange Stripe on Windshield

SoCal392 · Jan 30, 2026

So I bought my '24 FE as new in October. Somehow I just noticed an orange stripe on the passenger side of the windshield. It's embedded in the glass. I'm more worried about taking so long to see it than I am about the stripe itself...I did cursory search of the forums and didn't find anything...

Can someone explain what this is? tia!!

Antenna built into the windshield

That was my first thought, but after looking at pics, I didnt see it on any other 392. Is there an option required to get that antenna, or did it only start on year 2024?

Yup, its the FM antenna and started in 2024 with the new and improved Uconnect5 . It also increases the cost of a new windshield about 25% so watch out for those flying rocks, lol!
