You can get a tint strip installed - just like other window tint - for like $20

My guess is that the previous owner had installed that stripe. Just get another one put on, and while you are at it, put on some tint all around!

The blue tint is in the glass, but a lot of people when they tint their windows will get an additional strip at the top of the windshield.
