Default Windshield problem ... ?

The corner of my windshield seems to be delaminating? Is that possible? There is a .. well almost like a bubble progressing from the corner up about 5 inches. The "mark" is neither on the inside or outside, thus its as if the windshield itself is coming apart.

Firstly has anyone heard of this and second who can I get a correct windshield from and at what price? I don't want to spend a forture but the correct windshield would be nice.

My '72 was doing the same thing when I baught it. I think it had something to do with the rust on the windshileld frame (bird cage), because it was only happening in that area. Hope that's not the case with you.

Yep, delamination. Not sure why some do and some don't, but not uncommon in 40's, 50's, 60's cars. Will probably get worse. No cure but to replace.

If you are wanting a date correct WS, you might start with Doc Rebuild.

Default Yep ... thanks for the info

Thanks guys. I had never seen one delaminate. I sort of made it up! I I checked the doctor its $369 on the web site, which means it will be ~~ $450 when I call them. Seriously the Doctor has been good to me, but a little $ly. I get most all of my parts from either Doc Rebuild or VBP. Good, bad or indifferent I can't buy anything from VBP as I have nearly bought everythign that they have for my old car.
