John,
I’ve had a similar
problem and remember the strain it caused when I tried to remove it with a
razor blade from my many windows Vista Cruiser…
Finally I used a household
cleaning solvent for removing lime deposit from taps. Because it’s lime
deposit from the many years of rain that dried on the windows.
If it doesn’t
remove it, it softens it, so removing with a razor blade is easier.

Onderwerp: [FWDLK] glass problem
and question
Hello there..
On my ’61, at the
lower edge of the glass, where it meets either the gasket (if windshield or
back window) or where it meets the metal frame (if side glass), there is
a layer of “stuff” that just won’t come off – on the
OUTSIDE of the glass, only. It appears that this “film” was
left there by leaves and various crap, as the car sat outside for years. It is
NOT delamination of the glass – it most definitely is on the outside.
It looks like whitish, frosty stuff… almost like what it would look
like if the glass had been sandblasted.
It’s really
strange, careful work with a razor blade will remove some of it, but it’s
very slow and tedious. In some areas, the razor blade won’t even remove
it.
Has anyone experienced
anything like this and come up with a solution for getting rid of this crap ?
