PPG, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE 1998 AND 1999 BUICK CENTURY WINDSHIELDS IS MANUFACTURING THE WINDSHILEDS WITH A LATENT DEFECT, WHICH CAUSES THE WINDSHIELD VIEW TO BE HAZY WHEN DRIVING DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN. IT APPEARS THAT THE LAMINATE LAYERING BETWEEN THE GLASS SHEETS HAS FAILED. I ALSO NOTICED THIS SAME DEFECT ON A 1999 CENTURY AS WELL. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THE DEFECT BUT GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMER ZONE REP WAS UNWILLING TO PROCEED FURTHER.
