Bubbles in glass?
 
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can have my original Safe-T-Glass restored at? I have all 6 pieces on my 58 big window that are original and would like to keep it that way.
By bubbles, I mean there are air bubbles between the plates.
Thanks guys, indynick

Bubbles in glass= delamination of the laminate layer sandwiched between the interior and exterior panes of glass. Large areas of "bubbles" is not safe. This means the glass shards will separate from the damaged glass and become flying debris. Eventually, you will have to replace if the bubbles get big enough. Some specialty suppliers can provide date coded glass etc. But it is generally for concours type restorers. Haven't looked at pricing.

Yep it's past time to replace it because it is coming apart.

I don't buy the "patina" nonsense simply because I equate that to be another term for " I'm too lazy to do my truck right".

There will never be a day that I own a 50,000 truck or anything else that cost 50000 that I don't live in. I can relate to the "well, the glass has a few bubbles around the edge but it isn't cracked or hazed so I'll run it until I can afford new glass" concept.
I'd far rather see a guy spray bomb primer his truck every few weeks to keep it looking fresh rather then see these trucks that have 2,000 worth of wheels and a ten k engine but look totally neglected. Maybe I'm getting too old but I just don't grasp the concept of driving a truck that looks like you just drug it out of a field where it has been sitting for 30 years and thinking it looks great. Sandpaper, sweat and a few spraycans of primer don't cost any 50,000.
