I am curious as to what the glass firms use, though,

robust. Having owned a few 70s vehicles I've seen the effects of
windscreens starting to delaminate at the edges - but it goes a milky
colour and always starts from the very edge, whereas CRT 'sealant' tends
to go more like mould, and often seems to start from random points
(although it tends to be worse at the edges)
It goes like that around cracks, too - it's something to do with water
getting in I think. Oh, and never mind 70s, my 1991 Citro?n XM is
getting like that. I've seen cars less than five years old with the
same problem, so I suppose it's yet another of these "newer is crappier"
things.
