    Any way to fix/ clear up the fogging around the edges of windshields? I'm looking at a car and the gl*** if pretty bad. What causes this? Sun damage to Some kinda sealer between the 2 pelieces of gl***?

    Here's the car

    Not much in the way of fixing it other than new gl*** .

    It's the saftey film, what ever they call it, between the gl*** panes.
     
  5. Nope but it can be replaced.

    good part is that it is flat gl*** and should not be too expensive to replace.

    Once it's fogged, there's no going back. But as mentioned, you can have new ones cut at any gl*** place and relatively cheap, I bet you could have new gl*** for $100 plus the cost of the gasket for that car.
     
  8. Just take your old gl*** pieces to a reputable gl*** shop......and they
    should be able to copy them at a fairly reasonable price. And when you
    buy a new rubber seal, I would suggest Steele Rubber Products. They are
    not cheap, but make the best quality seal (in my opinion). I just did
    that for my Plymouth. You can get either clear or tinted gl***.

    Gl*** is like paint cheap is not in the same sentence.
     
  10. Sure it is. Flat gl*** is very cheap. I have a similar car. $150 for gl*** both sides and about $140 for all new rubber.

    Flat gl*** is dirt cheap! Go get new safety gl***.

    if gl*** shop uses your old gl*** for pattern make sure that the finished gl*** is exactly the size of original. if it is even slightly oversize it is possible that it will crack when body has any movement. happened to me with a '41 Chevy sedan. all fine till I jacked up rear of car. both front sections cracked. shop refused to redo gl***.
