It is caused by the electric defrosting option that Ford came up with.
When I was with them , it as an option fo the Continentals.

The "delamination" may not be quite what you think. The car shown is one of the Presidential limosines at the Ford Museum at Greenfield Village (certainly worth the trip if you haven't been there). I would imagine that they have a very special type of
bulletproof glass that would be built up from many layers of lanimated glass. I don't think that it would normally get that bad!
BTW, it is fun to see Danica (a local Illinois girl) mixing it up with the 'Good Ol Boys'. It will take her a while to get it, but she's pretty competative. In the meantime, go Tony Stewart!

George, your right. I'm sure they do special ones for security.
Dan, You telling me she can't race today. She need to have 2 cars at
the track like Jimmy Johnson. That guy is really a nice person, I had
the pleasure of talking with him when he came to San Francisco at the
Headquarters of GAP. We helped stage a small soap box race for him and
an exec. from GAP at their complex.

I noticed on my most recent Progressive policy that we now have zero deduct. on our glass. Has anyone had a windshield replaced by Progressive due to delamination. After they payed my towing bill I do not want to push my luck and ask them.

I have heard stories where replacement was indeed covered by insurance. However delamination is NOT a covered cause of loss on a typical personal auto policy form. I would guess those that got it covered either stretched the truth regarding the nature of the damage, or came across a very generous claims adjuster. Can't hurt to ask however (I did, and they said "no").

There has to be a crack running through the typical field of vision to be
replaced on some policies. Or, there has to be a significant chip that could
lead to other cracking and become a safety issue. This is based on my
experience where I live. In Kentucky, $0 deductible was enacted by law a
long time ago.

And, a question about replacing windshields due to delamination.
I noticed on my most recent Progressive policy that we now have zero deduct. on our glass. Has anyone had a windshield replaced by Progressive due to delamination. After they payed my towing bill I do not want to push my luck and ask them. My driver's side is getting pretty bad. Passenger side can make a fewmore trips.
Just curious.

Dan: My State Farm agent authorized a replacement glass on one of my cars due to several large stone chips. One week later I was in a violent wind storm where the wind picked up the pea gravel that is used in the west for traction control in the winter and scoured my brand new windshield with hundreds of little pits. When it would rain the dust and dirt in the pits would make a real mess of the windshield when you turned on the wipers. The glass had no chips of any size, just little pits which were almost invisible until you wanted to see in the rain.
I mentioned it to my agent, and he said "go get it replaced again, we want you to be able to see" He continued, that it was a safety item, and should be done.
So, fogging and so on might be covered as a safety issue. A good agent is always a help in this case.

You need an unfortunate or fortunate stone from a gravel truck to hit right in your field of vision. State Farm replaced mine for that reason. Sadly the new one is starting to fog allready.

Whether it's a safety issue or not, it's something that happens over a period of time, i.e. deterioration rather than something sudden or accidental, and therefore not a loss covered under an insurance policy. If you swung the turkey, so to speak, well that's between you and your conscience.

Unless a large rock from a truck in front of you causes it to "delaminate" in a single large spot...

I must admit, this is the first time I have wished for a broken windshield, ha. We normally get them patched same day a rock hit them on our other vehicles. I will let this one run across if we ever take a rock.
Thanks Steve, I may check on the cloudy thing when we get home.
2 years ago I had the cash to get both replaced and our refer went out.
