Will glass rust???


Recommended Posts

Well will it?? I swear the windshield in my truck has a rust spot. I thought it was just paint overspray, but then I tried to remove it with a lil min spirits and it didnt come off. I could feel it grabbing the rag like sandpaper, so I tried a razor blade.. The razor blade got sanded too!!! I had to take a closer look and it looks, well like rust. :dunno:

Have you used an angle grinder or welder anywhere near the window?

 

 

The sparks will melt into the laminated surface. Then they will rust. It will look really bad.

I havent, but who knows if anyone else has.. I thought about that, its just a small spot though, right in the field of view when driving. The spot is about 3" in diameter. I was thinking what if someone was trying to light a smoke (or something),not me!!, and heat caused it..

Just as you state, my MJ is just as much a victim if not moreso to Rustorius (the demon of metal decay)!!!

DEATH TO RUSTORIUS!!!

Glass it's self will not rust, but as Dirty wrote, if a hot spark from a grinder or welding landed on the glass, it will etch into the glass surface, and the foreign particle will rust.

 

More that likely, the windshield suffers from scuffs and scratches from the wiper arms, when the blades fall off, and the arm makes contact to the glass. If you take off the wiper blade, I'll bet the end of the arm is right where the scuff is in your windshield.

 

There are compounds and buffer pads out there to 'repair' the damaged glass. Along with epoxies to repair stone chips.

 

The windshields are laminated, made up from two layers of annealed glass, with a plastic sheet between, thus called........"Safety glass"

 

Most older glass will 'dis-color' at the edge when the lamination starts to separate.

 

Whats this word "Rustorius" :???:

 

It don't come up on my spell check :dunno:
