I spoke with a gentleman from the commercial side of what was LOF, who has been with them for decades. He speculated it was in the prep work prior to sealing the windshield. Probably large batches of them were not properly prepared, hence the amount of delaminating windshields we are seeing today. There are in fact some perfect windshields, I am lucky enough to have one on my 1990, and I hope it stays that way.
Still, I would like to find a solution to the problem so many of us are experiencing.
When I spoke to different people within the company, they seemed ambivalent to our issue. I am friends with an attorney locally who lives for large class actions suits, and he made it sound like an uphill battle (read small profit motivation). I also called several different manufactures about producing a similar windshield, but there was no interest. All this is not to say something cannot be done, but it does not look promising.
BTW- Don't tell anyone I have an attorney for a friend.
