Thanks for adding the pics. I had one from the front end that showed the windshield, but can't find it. I think it was from before the digital age and is not on my computer. The 95's seemed to have the worst windshields.

the last zr-1 is an enigma car was cared for better than most indoors and not driven and yet the windshield looked really bad
clint might know more, but it seems the delamination issue is more a laminar separation of the glued layers and not as much related to heat cycles as I would have thought
also seems like the 90 and 91s had windshields that seemed to hold up better and unfortunately the later cars seem to all suffer the delam fate
I saw the kurt white windshields and some other repros and they look nearly authentic, but won't fool a NCRS judge due to the labeling
getting a stocker seems best to me as my car is a driver but to the show crowd this is a critical component of scoring high like any other correct part on the car
I'm about go not show but I really respect those that preserve the breed. I'm trying to wear more of them out personally.
and as all of us drivers know the lt5 will spin a few times

Mine was getting bad. It just looked dirty and there was no way to clean it. Now it looks perfect. The layers just seemed to come unglued due to age. Mine does not spend much time out in the sun, so I don't think expansion was the cause. It was just poorly built, like so many other parts.
