Windshield Question
Folks,
I have an odd question about the windshield on my 2020 110S. When driving in sunlight, at certain angles I can clearly see a 2-inch long vertical line embedded in the glass. It's faint but noticeable and I'cve observed it for some time. The windshield has no cracks, dings etc and the area where I see that is smooth inside and outside. Is this the sign of a defect? I've read about people's problems with cracks etc but this one is odd and a first for me.
Thanks.

in winter, you'll love the heated windshield. it's not magic, but it does get things going quicker than just the air. in a few weeks or a month, you won't even notice the metal wires in the glass. nb - if you break your windshield, be sure to ask for JLR glass that has the heat element. otherwise, glass companies have tried (in my case) to install non-jlr windows without the heat element. no extra charges in my case, just had to ask for it.

I have the heated windshield and the faint / thin horizontal and [edit] vertical lines are slightly visible in certain lighting conditions. They virtually disappeared once I got used to the condition. The heated windshield has been very handy on occasion; my biggest gripe being Land Rover DISABLES the ability to ENABLE the heated windshield with REMOTE state which is the very time I seem to want it most.
[ Edit: removed reference to horizontal lines - as pointed out by nashvegas below and as noted in my reply below - heated windshield Lines are only running vertical as confirmed in reviewing my photos ]

Yes, that is correct and there are many such vertical lines in a heated windshield.

Where is this line? I don't see any horizontal heating lines in the viewing area of my heated windshield. Only vertical. (maybe snap a pic and draw a line where it is?)
I had a car once that someone scratched w/ a diamond ring on a rear window I think when cleaning it. Maybe it's just that?

I've edited my post above - you're correct - in reviewing my photos and stopping to look again - lines are VERTICAL only - in my haste I messed up. Good catch & apologies for any confusion I may have caused
