The Meg's Detailer glass cleaner has IPA in it...you should be fine.

Don't worry about it my good man. A lot of dedicated auto glass cleaners have IPA in them. A few examples:

Meg's D120 Glass Cleaner:
Ingredient % by Wt
WATER 30-60
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL 10-30

Stoner's:
Ingred Name: % by Wt
WATER (not given)
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL (not given)

RainX:
Ingredient % by Wt
Isopropanol <5
Water 70-95

Windex:
Ingredient % by Wt
Isopropanol 1-5
Water 90-95

Also, a lot of windshield washer reservoir additives have IPA in them.
