Is there any way to remove the white fog that is aound the edges of windshields/backglass? If so whats the easiest way?

stllookn · 10-15-2007, 03:00 PM

Nope...that is deterioration of the poly#$($*%^&^)%...? binder between the two plates of glass. Sorry...but you will have to run it until you replace it.

72freak · 10-15-2007, 05:46 PM

Yep........go till its broke or untill you can replace it.

**N2TRUX** · 10-15-2007, 06:32 PM

Two simple steps to getting rid of it.
1.Remove old glass
2.Install new glass

Sorry, but it can't be repaired...

Just be glad it's a Chevy truck of this era.If it were a Boat Tail Rivera or something else with parts made of Unobtainium,not only would it be expensive it might not be findable.

My gmc has this too...always has (10+ years) I figure it's just a sign that it's the original windshield...never has bothered me though.

My 50' had this. It's delaminating and nothing can be done except replace it.

esll.

just cut that section out and weld in a new piece........just kidding you may not want to try that.

**special-K** · 10-15-2007, 09:59 PM

It`s like the old trucks get cataracks.You either operate or get used to it.

Ha, my old truck had this, I would just rub my eyes and squint and it would go away.

Brock · 10-16-2007, 11:19 PM

Thanks...I think

I guess When I get it going I'll just be driving around in a fog for a while...

If you get a new windshield installed, you are going to think it's a whole different world out there. I didn't realize how bad my windshield was until I got a new one.

If rust is now called Patina, and makes a truck more valuable, then what can we call the fog to make it more desireable and make people want to have it. Can we call it dreamscape edging? LOL.
