    Default Burnt windshield

    I recently was placed in a different rig and the person that had my truck must have left the windshield wipers on overnight in dry conditions and completely rubberized my winshield. I can't find anything to get it off. It's really tought heading west on I20 in the afternoon with the sun bearing down. Any solutions for a miricle cleaner? :sad:

    Once that happens you may as well replace the windshield.

    A lot of what you're seeing is fine scratches in the glass from the friction of the dry wipers.
    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.

    most of the time it can be removed with a nice fresh razor scraper. Cleaners really cant get it off, elbow grease can though! LOL

    A nice sharp razor blade or three, a bottle of rubbing alcohol and some elbow grease will take care of it.

    If it's really just rubber, try naphtha, aka Zippo Lighter Fuel.
