Lessons While Driving Home

First I have finally decided that GM does not have any idea how to produce a windshield or at least does not know how to determine who a good producer is. GM windshields are horrible. first I have never seen any other manufactures car have so many broken windshields. Secondly GM windshields end up getting this nasty film on the window that makes it useless to see out of when driving in the rain or snow. I got so fed up with the windshield today driving home that I don't think I will ever purchase another vehicle made by GM EVER! If they only would have tested their product a little maybe we would not have these problems.

The next thing that really irritated me today is that Ingham and Eaton county both have the worlds worst road commission. It didn't even look like they had touched the highway this morning after last nights snowfall and it was almost 11:00 AM. I don't care that it was a Sunday, people are employed to do a job and that job must be completed when the time has come. You could say I am a little bitter or don't respect these workers and their families, but truthfully and honestly I do. If you want to complain about this, the next time you go into the emergency room, just imagine if the doctors decided to too show up. They are hired to protect the public health and government workers are hired to protect the public good and help provided a safe community, but these two counties obviously failed at this test.

Anyhow enough ranting for now...

Perhaps you need to try an organically grown windshield.

I don't really have any experience with bad GM windshields, but the film orhoaze you describe is from what is called "outgassing." This is caused by fumes being released from the plastics in the dash and driver console. This can be counteracted by leaving your windows slightly cracked when you park the car for the night.

To get the existing residue off, you can use any non-ammonia based cleaner.

Thanks for the tip. I think you may be talking about a film on the inside of the window, when the one I am actually talking about is on the outside.
