I have some areas around the perimeter of my front windshield where there are small bubbles of delamination. Has anyone here figured out how to fix something like that?

Now, before anyone says just replace it with a new one. Well, I'd like to keep it since it's the original windshield to the car. I'm thinking that if you bought one of those windshield repair kits and injected some clear resin under a vacuum into those areas, that could fix it. You could make a clay dam on the edge to help retain the vacuum in that spot. I'm just thinking out loud about all this so I don't know if this would actually work or not.

Any good ideas?

 

Don't look so closely?

Nothing lasts forever. It's natural patina and aging. I can't see it affecting the value, since it's "original". If you want it to look new, have a new windshield put in. Otherwise, accept it for what it is.

 

The delaming is between the 2 pieces of glass that make up the windshield. No real way to inject anything in there. Leave it be and enjoy the car for what it is.

 

My 89 had a chip in the glass that turned into a crack. I have been looking for a correct date (at least the year) coded glass for almost 3 years with no luck. Found a few of them, but they all had some delimitation going on. Mostly because they were in daily driven cars that were either being parted out or crashed. But then I looked at my 87 recently & saw it has a little bit starting in a few spots too. Never saw it before & the car has been inside for the last 23 years. Just kinda what happens with some over them over the decades

 

My garage Queen 82 has a few spots of that. Unavoidable, I think.

 

Well, I wear glasses because I'm nearsighted so I guess I can just take them off and everything will look good, fuzzy but good. lol!

 

I wish we had the option of getting the correct date coded LOF glass like the 1st gen guys.

 

I was at an auto event 2 weeks ago & was talking to the guys from pilkington (they had a tent set up) & they gave me a quote on a sand etched glass for one of my older cars, but your right, no screened options yet. They didn't know when or if they would be making them, but I think it will come eventually. They told me that pilkington has all the rights to the LOF trade marks.
