Moisture causes windshield delamination? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

VetteMed · 06-07-2012

I stopped in at a NAPA auto parts store today, to pick up a few odds & ends. A customer starts talking to me about the ZR-1, mentions that he has an '80 C3, etc. He says "looks like your windshield is about done", and then proceeds to tell me to beware of intermittent electrical problems, due to moisture getting into the fuse panel on the passenger side. He claims that the windshield delamination occurs due to moisture.

When I mentioned that some ZR-1s have had delamination since they left the dealer, it seems, he replied that he was a GM Master Tech. I asked if he was also LT5 certified, he seemed a bit insulted and reiterated that he was a GM Master Tech (I guess being a master tech means you've taken every course GM offers)?

He also claims to have built up several LT5s.

Obviously I've got no way to know if he's totally FOS or if there's any validity to his claim about the moisture. Just thought it was a bit interesting and entertaining.
