Milkiness at side of windscreen

The right hand side of the windscreen (looking from inside) in my 2007 FL2 has slowly developed a "milky line" with feathery edges over the last 2-3 years. It currently stretches from the edge for about 1cm into the screen.

I believe this may be a symptom of delimitation of the glass allowing moisture to enter between the two layers.

Is this something that I should be concerned about, at the moment it doesn't appear to be an issue, and I doubt whether anyone else would notice it?

If the screen did need replacement does anyone know how much this is likely to cost bearing in mind that I have the HSE model with a heated front windscreen?

Thanks

You are right, likely to be slight delamination at the edges. Not a problem unless it impedes you vision at MOT test time. Heated screens are ££££ to buy. Best wait until you see a big flying rock coming towards you & claim on insurance. 😉

Claimed one due to that flying rock 2 years ago, £75 excess then but genuine LR heated screen was serious money. Big Cry

This one has a rock mark again but not in my view for MOT failure so leaving it as when you change insurance its still to be declared as a claim (so far no loading). FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Used to be called Balsam starts, it was supposed to be eliminated with the new adhesives and polymer centre, obviously not, surprised with an HSE as the heater wiring should dispel the damp my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
