I recently bought a used AMG C43 from a Mercedes dealer and have noted an issue with the windscreen.

There is, what looks to be, a strand of thin copper wire approx 100mm long curled, trapped within the layers of glass to the windscreen, similar in width to the embedded aerial.

I have raised this with the dealer and am seeing them tomorrow, but wondered whether or not anybody else had experienced this and what the outcome was.

I have included a link to a pdf which is annotated to show the issue.

The wire is the DAM aerial.

The strand I'm sure is a defect

Yup, defect.

Rare to see something like that. If anything, it's usually a little squiggle in the line where it's not straight.

I am guessing it is one of those things that once you notice it...you can't un-notice it, despite the fact that no one else notices it?
