Paint problems

Clearcoat changes (milky) at the top of the windscreen

Cause:

This effect can be caused when dampness gets under the protecting foil, which is used to protect the upper windscreen rubber seal.

If the vehicles stand for a longer time in the sun, small cloudy patches of different sizes could appear in this area.

Production Solution:

Special part:

No

Remedy:

These markings can be removed with a warm air pistol or a hair-dryer. It's not necessary to repair the paint finish.
