I have just px my SV8 for an XFr, I noticed there is slight delamination on the windscreen similar to when I had a TVR, I looked at the warranty details and it doesnt cover glass, I am due to pick car up 16th April any idea where I stand with this before I confront the dealer about it, I am hoping they may be reasonable and change it as I have found threads on other sites that this is quite common.

Raise it now and get it sorted, before you part with any cash.........

Having said that, it will be £50 to get your car insurer to replace it?

Just noticed this problem on my XFR - owned from new for 2.5 years now and only just happened (also very minor at the moment - just a few mm - but will no doubt get worse)
I am will raise this issue with the dealer soon before the 3 year warranty runs out
It seems a replacement widscreen is the only solution

Not saying this is defo a warranty issue, but I've changed a few for Jaguar (and LR) for this very reason (all at the dealers' own prep centres).

Not rare complaint sadly (for owners)

ETA: *on used models.
