I might have a buyer for my windshield. It is great
shape but it has white cloudy / haze along the bottom about 1inch high. I tried some of the basic window cleaners but nothing works. Any tips on how to clear this up? Also whats the best way to remove / dissolve the black adhesive that is on the glass? - Garold |

You will probably find that the haze is a separation of the two layers of glass that sandwich the plastic center layer. Safety glass is a three layer sandwich. When the layers separate it will always appear cloudy. Nothing can fix that. Sorry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The glass is seperating from the poly. |

Is there a way to stop it? If not I assume that this
seperation is a slow process since this is from a 74 it has only gone a little less than a inch up from the bottom. Is this then still a good windshield that can be reused. I don't want to sell anything that is unsafe. - Garold PS I will post a pic tonight. |

If you wear glasses you may want to clean them unless you wear contacts in which case you should change to a new pair.

Its like terminal cancer, could be a slow or faster decay, I would not want it in my car though. Although mine got scratched pretty bad when I got caught in the rain last summer with a bad wiper blade. Took alot of it out though with pumis and a cloth wheel attached to a drill.
