Windshield Delaminating

Has anyone else had this issue? Looks like my windshield is starting to delaminate.

Looks like glass tinting coming apart between glass.

Guess it's time to go to the dealership and see what they say.

I’m going to check mine carefully. What year you guys got?

Hopefully they will do something about it and not give you the run-around.

Just checked mine, nothing but a few suicidal bugs. It does look like a de-lamination issue. All windshields have a plastic sheet laminated between the glass for safety. Wonder if it has to do with heat and sun? My "Big Blue' is garage kept, and not as much heat in Wisconsin. Wonder if it is more of an issue in southern states?

I would think it should be a warranty issue.

Went to the dealership today and showed it to the service manager. He related that he had a a few others and and had heard about some issues withe windows. The windshield is going to be replaced under warranty. Unfortunately I have wait till the end of August to have it installed; back ordered.

Lucky. They probably won't do shit here and if they do I'll have no truck for days.

Also 2019 XLT

My local dealer finally got a replacement windshield in for my truck. New one is in. Hopefully there will be no problems with this one.

I’m having the same issue now on my 2023 Ford ranger XLT front windshield front passenger side upper corner. This is absolutely ridiculous and their process is he will take pictures submit it to Ford and get back to you. My truck only has 10,000 miles on it, are you freaking kidding me I just got it in February. My truck cargo light switch never worked so they had to replace that. I’ve even had my tires rotated but I’m going to the dealership and they scanned my tires and say that my vehicle is out of alignment by sending an email when it all reality my truck is not out of alignment, they scanned the tires and they were rotated. The computer cannot determine whether or not that was done. The front window lamination is caused by moisture getting in between the bonded sheets of Glass or polymer. Whatever you wanna call it. There are also recalls regarding the front sheet windshield popping out upon impact on 2019 to 2022
I strongly suggest that if you do have a new Ford Ranger, and it is under warranty that you check the corners of your windshield for the pictures like this man or this person posted here mine looks almost exactly the same

drive behind a gravel truck....then call your insurance company and get a new windshield. Be faster than trying to shake a new one from Ford. I'm on my second replacement windshield (New England winters are hard on windshields)

Found this thread because I noticed slight delamination just recently. For all I know it's been there for some time.
