Correct. But I do NOT have it listed in my window sticker (neither as option nor as standard).

I read in another thread that LR moved away from the "film" in more recent versions. But they are still SA, just clear and without a visible film. However - I think - you should still see the little thermometer with the swirling arrow in the left bottom portion of the windshield.

From the owners manual, looks like those cut outs are for you to stick toll passes or front view cameras. I also have in the bottom left side of my windshield, the little logo of a thermometer with a swirling arrow that was discussed in another thread here and supposedly denotes the solar attenuating windshield. All in all very confusing and my only conclusion is that I got the solar attenuating option as standard equipment. Don't ask me why or how.
Well then you are lucky because that was a U.K.£200 option and the added advantage that it seems less prone to breaking than the regular screen

And it does keep the interior cooler in hot weather.

New D90S here with HUD and "solar" (serial ending starts with P222) and no cutouts.

Mine has the thermometer with swirls.
