All delam?

My 90 had about 1.5 to 2.0" of delam around the periphery. In 2014 I replaced it with a standard C4 (Safelite) windshield.

What I immediately noticed was the clarity of the new glass; not just the absence of the typical delamination at the periphery, but clarity was remarkable by comparison - especially when facing the sun.

I suppose there might have been a couple decades of micro scratches (like patina) on the glass, but it wasn't due to not being clean. (I'm fanatical about clean glass; the photographer in me, I guess...).

Just my .02, but unless you are harboring an NCRS candidate, I would recommend to anyone to consider changing out the ZR-1 glass if it is the least bit annoying. I love the (clear) look, and the tinting is perfect (for me). I've not missed that original glass for a friggin' microsecond. LOVE the new 'winder'!

FWIW, YMMV!

This is what I call DELAMINATION
Got a new windshield on the way.

But my Heater Core Leak looked about as bad except rather than DELAMINATION it was FOG

Yes! That's what I'm talking about, except mine was not that bad. But, it did cover the entire w/s (faintly tho...).

Paul,

How much effect, if any, did the new standard window have on the cooling ability of the AC? I'm way beyond original on my car but being in Texas I have to consider the high temp/high humidity conditions and I'd hate to have to start planning road trips around whether my AC can keep up with said conditions.

TTT. Paul, not sure if you saw my question since the notification doesn't seem to be working right.

Sorry, Dave. Didn't see your post.

Can't say on the AC. I drive with the windows down and never used the AC.
