Brand new Telluride owner here … the dealership we purchased from definitely swindled us on a variety of things as we are going back through the paperwork. Just want to make sure we aren’t crazy… does the window etching below come standard on all Kias (driver window only)!

If you got charged for Window Etching, it's to put your VIN on all the glass all around the vehicle. It's one of the many ways dealers upcharge for nominal amount of work, technically to help recover your vehicle if it's stolen and sold for parts.....in reality, you wouldn't care as your insurance will pay out for a stolen vehicle, instead of you getting it back in pieces.

What else did they charge you for? Nitrogen? Undercoating? Interior protection? All scams and should be refused.

I did get charged for Window Etching but they didn’t put the VIN anywhere on the windows.
