2010 Rapide, Front quarter light glass issue

[ashleyd14]

Hi all,

Anyone ever seen anything like this? I have no idea what it is, it looks like some kind of growth between the glass? Anyone know of a remedy, or is it just replace it? By the looks, you cant just replace the glass and need a whole assembly.

I thought milkiness in glass suggested water ingress and or uv damage to a laminate in between the glass layers.

But i don't know if the front quarter glass on a Rapide is laminated glass or not. Maybe someone will be along who knows more about Rapides than i do!

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yes, it looks to be laminated...

Looks like delamination. Only cure is replacement.
Not uncommon overall. Not sure about on AM cars

Could well be UV. I am based in Australia, and it sat for a while (2-3 months) under cover but would have had exposure to sun on that side.

Thanks guys, appreciate the responses. I thought as much, I will look into replacement.
