Well I spent a good while looking for a replacement for the brown front windscreen that has cracked in the chromie.

Found a good one, original BMW, perfect nick :thumb:

The replacement was carefully retrieved, cossetted and stored in a dark place waiting for the day when I get to attack the car.

Went to move it to a better place for storage only to find it has developed bubbles in between the layers of glass (about 1-2mm diameter) :x :banghead:

Anyone seen this before?

99% sure it is terminal but will try anything to recover it if anyone has any thoughts

Next question is does anyone have another?
