Is it a line or a scratch? 0000 steel wool is safe on glass, you can try that.

what kind of line is it exactly? is it residue from the rubber, or a scratch in the glass? if it's a scratch, there's not much you can do about it.

I think I took care of it. I sprayed window down with windex and used fine steel wool , hard to tell in the rain , but appears to be gone.
