Fix a new delaminating windscreen?

I'm about to install a new windscreen that I've had in the attic for many years, and when I look at the edges, it has started to delaminate :( Is there a way to fix this, or stop it from progressing? I've asked a couple of car glass installers, and they said no, not as far as they know. I'm wondering if there is anything that one could wick in between the panes that would fill the void? It has not started discoloring. Supposedly good Finnish windscreen.

Hi Thomas, It's the plastic layer (PVB) that fails. I don't think anything can reverse or stop it. Weird since it has been stocked and by that should not have been affected by high temperature and humidity fluctuations (like if it had been installed on a car). Hopefully the rubber will mask some of it. I suggest you contact Sicurvetro <https://www.sicurvetro.com/>. Don't know if Antti Wihanto is around anymore but explain the issue and you might get a discount. /björn On Tue, May 13, 2025 at 2:34 PM Thomas Tornblom <thomas@hax.se> wrote:

Thomas, The good news is that the issue is confined to areas which will be hidden by the rubber gasket so they won’t be visible. I don’t know of any way to fix it. Mike Sent from my iPad

Hello Thomas, While I have not tried to fix this type of problem myselk, If I WERE to try it, I would use the Permatex flowable silicone assisted with a vacuum seal around the entire area (to allow the fluid to replace the air). It might work, it might not, but I suspect it would help prevent this getting worse. Here’s what I have used to seal windhield gasket leaks (it is quite clear): https://www.permatex.com/products/adhesives-and-sealants/adhesives-sealant/permatex-flowable-silicone-windshield-glass-sealer-1-5-oz/ Permatex® Flowable Silicone Windshield & Glass Sealer, 1.5 OZ permatex.com Cheers, Mark Charlton pantera@homecharlton.ca

Years ago I would use a vacuum pump to remove air then open a valve to allow rick chip sealer to void the space. Large glass companies use it all the time. Safelight commercials show then using. Maybe contact some one in an auto glass forum or an antique car repair shop and maybe they can guide you. Jeff Cobb Sent from my brain.
