Sungate Windshield De-Lamination

Mentioned this in an earlier thread, but thought I'd share with pics. The windshield on my OCC has no scratches or chips, but is de-laminating along the lower edge, under where the wipers park. Thankfully you can't see it from inside the car, and it's not really somthing you notice outside the car...but still...goofy.

The Sungate in my 92 RMW was starting to do the same thing.

Strange. Mine's spent years exposed to the elements and shows no sign of that happening. Of course, it's got a big ass crack in it though. Sad

Common issue. My '94 has the same problem. ZR-1 corvettes also had the same problem.

The White Elephant has been that way since I got it.

Well glad I'm not alone. Did not have this issue on my '96 Roady, but it was not a Sungate model. Wonder if it has something to do with that.

Put it this way: I like the Sungate's reflective properties more than I dislike the delam issues on the edges.
