What is this for?
Around the rear-view mirror, there's a pattern of dots in the windshield - right where I'd like to have put my radar detector.

What is that stuff for?

Unless I'm way off base I believe it's the radio antenna, at least I think it is....

It's there because the visors can't shade that section of the window. Keeps the sun from shining in your face.

I thought the antennae is the vertical lines on the rear window (horizontal are the defroster) ? Not sure about this though.

NSXnext is right.

You also see that sometimes on the tops of rear windows to cut the sun without actually blocking vision.

So, I wonder - can I put my radar detector up there, or will it be less sensitive because of the polka-dots?
