Dear experts--
Since I know nothing whatsoever about automotive window glass, I
figure I can ask a stupid questions without embarrassment.
I guess I know the difference between tempered and laminated glass,
but I don't know which one is standard now and which one is likely to
be the standard in the future. Which one is my 1992 Geo Prizm likely
to have? I have no problem with breakage, etc., but I AM having
trouble with scoring, presumably from stuff in the air This is now
really reducing visibility, particularly when driving into the sun.
The little car just turned 100,000 miles (the first car I have had
that has lived that long), but I intend to keep using it until it
dies.
Is there anything that can be done to fix the scoring? Is there some
type of glass that is less vulnerable to that that I can try to get
for the next car (which I hope will be some distance down the line,
when I have the money to pay for it)?
My favorite car was a "Metallic Burgundy" 1959 Oldsmobile 98 hardtop
that we inherited from my mother-in-law in the 1970s when it had
16,000 miles on it. Now THAT was a windshield--wrap around and huge!
The car didn't have seat belts, of course. I hate to think what would
have happened if any of us had hit the windshield in that one.
Happy New Year to all.
Marilyn
