Re: White "fog" around the windows
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.

Re: White "fog" around the windows
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.

Re: White "fog" around the windows
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.

Re: White "fog" around the windows
It`s like the old trucks get cataracks.You either operate or get used to it.

Re: White "fog" around the windows
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.

Re: White "fog" around the windows
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.
