Hi, everyone! I love my prius (of course), but my younger sister pointed out an unusual problem - every so often, the *inside* of all my windows gets coated with an oily film that greatly increases glare and decreases visibility. We've had to scrub this stuff off twice since I got the car - just recently both my sisters and I were scrubbing away with windex and paper towels. What is this stuff? it's very hard to get off, and I haven't got a clue where it's coming from - so far as I can tell, it's not from the engine, since my mileage has been pretty good this summer (over 50 twice) and I don't seem to be burning any oil. Is it just new plastic fumes? (I've never had a car as new as this one before) Or could it be from other cars? I drive, mostly, in Westchester, which is pretty urban and full of SUVs. In either case, what can I do about this junk??!
