I noticed what appears to be a defect in the windshield. Almost like a delamination in the upper right hand corner.
Anyone else notice this?
At first I thought it was some kind of marking.

Looks like little airpockets. They might have been very tiny imperfections that have gotten bigger. Are you in high altitude?

No. Not high altitude. About 720'.
I'm going to bring it up to the dealers attention when I bring it in for the air bag recall.

Are they growing? I'd hate to have to have a new windshield installed. Seems like it's never the same fit and finish as the originally installed windshield.

Not sure yet. Just noticed it yesterday while cleaning the windshield for a cross country trip. I will be keeping an eye on it.
Not that I want to but I would rather have it replaced/ repaired under warranty then after.

If it's not in your line of sight I wouldn't really worry about it, just have it noted at the dealer. They might not replace it as its not in your line of sight.
