Milking

[navstar]

I have had my Chim now for 4 months it is a 98 4.5, and has been totally trouble free, but I was just wondering if anyone else is seeing the windscreen milking in both bottom corners.
I have noticed that the rubber seal has become lose in various places around the screen and wanted peoples opinions on the best way to sort this out??

They all do that sir
It's because the glass is 2nd rate, the only way I think to get round it, it to start with a new screen, and seal the edge, this is the problem water gets between the layers of glass in the screen and sends it 'milky' the approved way around it is to paint over the milky glass with black paint

The TVR screen is prone to delaminting, not a lot you can do about it.

Mine's the same, plus a couple of stone chips. However it is insured, and I suspect a lorry will throw up a large stone and break the windscreen at some point.

thanks chaps, glad to find out it is a common problem.

Porsches do it too, you know.

Mine seems to have stone chips in it as well - just looks like crappy quality glass..is that about right? Sort of spoils the look of it doesn't it? Maybe it's time to replace with a sheet of blacked out glass, complete with "Gav and Mrs Gav" sun visor...hmm mmmm.

No no, how will passers by see the fluffy dice?

Our Chimaera has a bit of it...nothing to worry about.

Errr. None of my Porsches did it...

Get some black PVC tape and cover it up works just fine

Both my 924 and 944 turbos did. And it appears all 944s do it.

stick a chip in it and get it replaced on the insurance - £50.
