white haze around windshield? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Maybe a dumb question but I can't figure out what this white haze is around the windshield. It appears as if its between the glass but I'm not sure. Any of you have experience with this? Any remedy to get rid of it short of buying a new windshield?

I have the same problem on the '68 CST, and have been told that it's just the glue finally drying up after all of these years.

We're probably both going to have to buy new windshields

It is the layers of glass and silicone seperating.
You need new glass...as do I.

My 70 CST had it and i lived with it, it was like frost around the perameter of the windshield but somewhat uniformed.

lmao@Huck, good one!

Yep mine has it too. I put up with it when I was driving it all the time but I think now that I have it all tore down I am going to put in the new on I have in the loft.

Anyone who is familiar with CJ Jeeps, you know this problem all too well. I'm not sure if the windows in our trucks are tempered but I thought so. I thought that it was because of this little fact, the plastic/silicone they put in the window dries after so long and turns hazy.

Air, if you want to call it that, gets into the laminating material, between the two pieces of glass that form the windshield, or any other glass in a vehicle. Some glass seems to be more prone to this happening, i.e., in a hot, dry climate.

They're doing so much construction on the interstates in Arkansas, you wouldn't have to wait long to get "rocked". I traded off two vehicles, both with a chip in the windshield, for one that has a chip. I figure to wait until they're finished in a couple of years, to replace it (unless it gets worse). Then, that's why I have "0" deductible on my comprehensive insurance, even on my '69. It is too cheap, not to have it.
