Windscreen problem?

[geordibbk]

Hi all I went to see a 4 year old used Honda Hr-V and it has a white patch on the top centre windscreen about 1.5 inch length. I've added two photos to this post.

The dealer is saying it's nothing to worry about but I'm not so sure?

Doesn't look right to me.

Hopefully someone who replaces windscreens will comment.

Looks like water has gone between the two layers of glass and started to bubble up the joint

[geordibbk]

Do you mean between the glass and laminate or does the glass typically have two layers?

Water in between the layers of the screen.

Not uncommon on older cars but it'd concern me a bit on a 4yr old one. Is it the original screen?

It may not get worse but it certainly won't get any better!

Thanks I'm not sure if it's the original the dealer wasn't very clear on that but clearly something has gone wrong. I'm worried it'll get worse.

It will only get worse, as others have said it's moisture between the two layers of glass causing the plastic layer to discolour

The milkiness is usually a symptom of moisture. Trying to work out what the squiggly bit is; is it below the glass surface? Might be a capillary tube in the PVB layer.

Points towards a manufacturing defect in the glass.

Thanks yes the squiggly bit is below the surface.
