Hello:

Have a 2004 Accord LX.

Regarding the periphery of the front windshied, where there is the black
band of clear and dark dots for perhaps 1 inch from the edges:

Not sure if this is used for window alignment when they built the car, or
supposed to be anti-reflective, but have just placed a XM
satellite radio antenna in the extreme front of the windshield dash (inside
the car) where it is partially blocked by this black dotted band.

My question is: are these black dots and band in any way metallic ?
e.g., is the paint metallic ?

If it is metallic, I guess it will be a no-no for the antenna placement.

Thanks,
Bob
