Default Windshield delaminating

Does anyone know of any problems with the C7 windshield delaminating? While doing my semi annual wash & wax routine, I noticed that the glass has bubbles around the edge. The car is only 2 1/2 years old & this seems like something that should not be happening so soon.

I had one replaced for stress crack. The one they ordered and received was delaminating so they had to order another one.

Mine front windshield seems to be delaminating along the top right below the rubber seal. Do you think this would be an easy thing to get the dealer to replace under warranty?

This is a KNOWN issue with the glass on the C7
I had the same problem at the top of the windshield which worsened and then developed into a large vertical crack. At first both GM and the dealer were not helpful and tried to get me to have it fixed with my auto insurance company.

I had to file a claim with the BBB which made GM more accomodating.

I had both issues a stress crack and the delaminating. Dealer was glad it was delaminating said the warranty claim would be easier. They did a great job of replacing it and giving me a loaner.
