I finally got the windshield wipers resolved. Washed the truck for the first time yesterday. And noticed this when I was drying her. Slightly bigger than a pin head size chip of the internal tint of the rear. I'm just shaking my head right now. My OCD is kicking in because its like white colored thing against a black background. Like a dead pixel on an OLED screen.
Worried replacing glass will alter sound proofing, wind proofing from factory. What would you guys do? Get it replaced or suck it up

Ugh that's a tough one. Is it large enough to be filled in with resin?
How long are you going to keep? If awhile I would consider fixing it. If in a year, ask the dealer what they think when trading back and if they don't care I wouldn't either.
If it’s just a tiny chip and doesn’t affect visibility or functionality, suck it up. Replacing the glass could risk factory seals and soundproofing. OCD sucks, but a replacement might bring bigger headaches.
If it makes you feel any better my '25 G63 rear driver side panel window came from the factory with a tiny chip on the edge, it's about the size of a grain of sand, not horrible but if the light hits it just right it will reflect and make its presence obvious...
