Dunno when they started but I do know the 2005 model had an oil film inside the glass. It is supposed to have it so that the glass won't fog up.

I have it as well. I took it the dealer and they said it was a known problem and it would be replaced without a problem, only catch is the replacement has to be programed for mileage at the factory so it takes about a month to get.
