It could be from using a cleaner with an abrasive or one that wasn't made to be used on that sort of material. I've seen it happen before, in which case you may need to replace it entirely.

As a last resort I'd try that Orange Clean stuff or the Oxy Clean stuff from the infomercials. You should be able to find them in the supermarket. If they don't do the trick, then you may indeed need to replace it.

kinda had the same problem with my old bop xB. what had happened was armor all got on the glass and was there perm. I had to order a new glass piece from toyota becuase it would not come off at all. only glass cleaner can be applied to the glass. if you get anything else on it, its pretty much gonna stay on there.
