2nd row windows on both sides are cloudy/ hazy. I have taken it to our dealer and they confirm that the windows are hazy
The second row windows in my Palisade are cloudy and hazy to the point that visibility is severely impacted in certain lighting conditions
Just purchased this car, attempted to clean the 2nd rear windows cause they look very cloudy when the sun hits them making it very difficult to see out of them. Apparently many others have this issues so I brought to the dealership but was told "windows are not covered under warranty".

The 2nd row and rear windows are foggy/milky looking compared to the front windows
