Bonded wind screens
Hi all -
Just to mention, on the subject of bonded windows, that my 76 Alfetta GT has
a bonded windshield (screen). I believe that the early Alfettas had the
bonded-in rust enhancing devices. Later ones, and all GTV6s should have the
gasketted affair. That is what I have been told, at least.
A couple of years ago I had some major rust removed and the damage repaired
in the cowl area. The bottom 1/3 of the windshield area was rusty, through
and through. A rather forgettable experience, I might add.
The rear deck lid window (back light) is also bonded in place. It is
suffering major rust also. (Daylight visible from both directions) At least
I have a (gasketted) GTV6 deck lid/hatch to replace it with. Just waiting
for a couple of mechanical gremlins to be chased down so I can deal with this
issue. The deck lid is black,and the rest of the car is ivory. High
contrast, that a new paint job should cure. (that is one of the resaons why I
am waiting)
