Windshield Delamination?
My 2015 has only 1300 miles, I took it to my dealer to evaluate, they said they have seen 3 C7 delamination issues "aka bubble" almost always on the top edge in the past month. They also informed me Chevrolet is denying responsibility for this issue, the repair is on me financially. We are talking 1300 miles. Anyone else have this problem?

I don't know if you are experiencing the same thing as I did. About 6 months ago my 2015 Vette had a small crack at the top of the windshield on the passenger side. The crack was on the inside of the glass, so it couldn't be repaired. I took it to my local dealer. The service manager took one look at it and said the windshield would be replaced under warranty. This is a known defect that GM is aware of. Do a search for "Windshield cracks", and you will see pictures. I hope this helps.

FYI, Insurance will not cover because there is no crack, it is an issue inside the glass, they deemed it cosmetic, which is correct.

My 17 GS Windshield was recently replaced under warranty. It had a 5" interior crack from Pass Side A Pillar to the Roof and delamination along most of the top edge.
Curiously, the Warranty covered the delam, but not the crack.

My 2017 GS Windshield was replaced under warranty due to de-lamination., The Dealer said the first replacement failed because of a bubble, so it took a few days longer than expected to get a new windshield, but the second attempts seemed to be OK (looking) until the first rains of the season -
I discovered that the passenger side Footwell is wet.
so it's back to the dealer to discuss...
SIGH!
