I want to put tint on my top part of my windshield, I still have no idea what that compartment at rear of my rear mirror is for.

You mean the black plastic box in the center of the windshield? I think that houses some driver assistance tech including CP360 if you ordered that. Otherwise I have no idea what you mean.

What kind of stupid puts tint film on the outsideYou can't tint over it from the inside
Not only will it not last but on the Maverick it covers the camera that is used for collision detection.
My tint company did the eyebrow tint on the inside and it is seamless to the black box camera housing.

Had mine done at dealer at purchase. 4 days later rock splintered windshield so I had it replaced. Dealer redid the windshield tint as I have lifetime coverage for windshield and door tints.

It's that mark really for that? Or a happy coincidence?The AS1 line is supposed to be the lowest you can go with eyebrow tint

The guy who installed my "brow" told me that was as low as you can go in Texas
What does the AS1 arrow line on a windshield serve?
This also reads AS1 but has an arrow in between and a line. This shows the lowest point at which the glass can be darker than clear (that AS1 transparency from above). This comes in handy when you want to install an aftermarket tint strip or if a glass manufacturer wants to include one within the glass.

Here are the pictures of the Eyebrow Tint from the inside and outside.
The Eyebrow Tint was installed on the inside of the windshield and as shown it was professionally done.
I used SML Window Tint in Lewisville TX.
SML Window Tint
Total Cost for tinting the two front windows and the eyebrow was $139 using the 10% off senior rate discount.
Front Windows: MADICO BLACK PEARL NC 35
THIS IS A NANO-CERAMIC FILM WITH A NATIONWIDE LIFETIME WARRANTY. IT HAS SUPERIOR HEAT REJECTION WITHOUT INTERFERENCE WITH PHONE, GPS, AND RADIO SIGNALS. OLDER FILM USED METAL TO GAIN HEAT REJECTION. UNLIKE MOST TRADITIONAL FILMS, BLACK PEARL NC BLOCKS INFRARED HEAT IN ADDITION TO VISIBLE LIGHT HEAT. WE CARRY FOUR SHADES IN THIS FILM. 30%, 15%, 5%, AND 75%. THE LIGHTEST SHADE (75%) IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TINT, BUT CAN HAVE THE BENEFITS OF TINT. HEAT REJECTION FOR THIS VIRTUALLY CLEAR TINT IS 45%. THE OTHER SHADES BLOCK OUT 56%-63% OF THE HEAT.
We have used SML on all our vehicles going back to the 1990's and their tint lasts forever.

I walked the parking lot at work. 8 out of 8 cars and trucks have this mark. Fords, Dodges, Chevys, all have the identical mark.
I've seen that my whole life and never put 2 and 2 together. Makes sense.

I believe I read it’s a camera for the automatic braking
