Noticed these today on my driver and passenger window

I've previously cleaned both windows since buying the van in August with brake cleaner and screenwash/vinegar mix
a couple of times
So It's not like a sticker or residue.
Can't see them at all when windows are clear/clean
Never noticed them before but obviously a mix of cold weather outside and 4 large dogs inside got the windows somewhat steamy.

Has anyone seen these on their windows ?
Don't want rid of them, just curious how come they have lasted through such cleaning.
On ETIS it say's my van was a showroom or advertising..or something like that, can't remember the exact wording
It is a GLX, could it be something trick Ford put in the glass as a advertising gimmick ?

Is the glass rough at the Ford badge? Used to be able to sandblast etch things on glass for security but I'm not sure

Just a wild guess, if it dissapears if you wipe the condensaton away could it be a clever invention by Ford to pre-warn drivers about cold road conditions?

The glass is completely smooth, I had no idea they were there till the windows got like this today.
I know what you mean, like the triplex Ford etch further down, you can feel that.

That's sticker residue. Not from any ford or dealer sticker, but some aftermarket tat.

That's what I thought, but as the glass has been cleaned inside and out with brake cleaner, I can't see how it's survived.
That stuff gets anything off, plus the vinegar and screenwash mix, which is why I'm surprised to see them appear.

It's a mystery, still, least it doesn't read, my other car is a Vito.
