does anyone have this strange ring imprint on the inside of the panoramic roof glass?

just noticed something curious...

I was taking a nap while waiting to pick up someone. It was cold so the interior glass fogged up. When I looked up, I noticed this ring. (see pic below)

It's about the size of a CD and on the non-movable rear glass of the panoramic roof. It was inside and I could wipe it off with my fingers. I have never cleaned the inside of the glass since delivery, so I assume that it has always been there?

What could have made that ring imprint? I was thinking maybe it was the tool that they use at the BMW factory to lift the glass... however, wouldn't it have been on the outside instead?

maybe when I really bored, I'll go visit my friend who is a retired detective. We can dust the whole car for fingerprints left by BMW factory employees in Regensberg?

Speaking of MBworld, when I got my old Mercedes many years ago, I found a genuine German screwdriver below the rear carpet. I was taking out all the carpets and seats to run the wires for dashcams. Some MB employee in Sindelfinger probably lost it.

Do you still have the screwdriver? Wiha? Wera?

I gave it to the Mercedes dealer service tech. He thought it was funny as well.

Ive seen this a few times on the forums, the consensus was the suction piece when installing the glass

I cleaned it off with glass cleaner... I don't want to leave it on because I have a family member(adult) who is still traumatized by the movie "Ring" from when she was a youngster.
