Hazy film on inside windshield

I just replaced my heater & evap cores on my '06 X last week and now I've been getting a hazy film on inside of my windshield. Other thread suggested an HC coolant leak. I wasn't getting this film when the old core was leaking, just the smell of coolant. Now no smell that I can detect but this film. Sound about right?

Thought about running a bypass and seeing if it persists, but that has to wait a couple days.

Is the film wet or is it a dry haze that you have to remove with window cleaner? Products like Armor All will make a dry film on your glass, as will dash mats made with Olifin.

Really? We’re trying to change the subject and you go right back to @surfobx031 original post concern. And now @surfobx031 won’t even comment. If we can alienate enough people it’ll be just us and our stupid comments.

Sorry dude, I just wasn't thinking. It's been a long day driving and I'm just too pooped to add to the poop discussion.

So…………. @surfobx031 hows the window fog? When they build those coils they use a ton of oil to lube the fin press that compresses all the aluminum sheets together. It’ll burn off over time.

This was my feeble attempt to put this train back on the track. You just gotta ignore all the pervs above. They are too busy playing with their phones at the mall to talk about jeeps on a” JEEP FORUM”

Fish. Feet. Cats. Poop. Cmon guys! 🤣😂🤣

I think it’s getting better. I’ve been blasting heat while I go down the highway with windows open, to & from work. Prob the issue since I don’t smell coolant. Just gonna give it some time like you said.

I like where this thread went 😂

Not dry but greasy I suppose which makes me think it’s oil from the manufacturing process, like people have mentioned and I’ve seen on another forum.
