I've read somewhere, probably on here, about the laminate turning a yellow color because of age. That could be considered brown depending on how dark the color gets. My own glass has a yellow hew around the edge of the glass.

Does Packard glass turn brown when the laminations separate? I've seen glass turn foggy white or light green but not brown.


My experience is that the Packard glass and/or laminate turns yellow/brown/gold where it come in contact with the rubber gasket. You can see where my wind wing is 'golden with age' along the chrome mounting where the rubber lurks. The unencumbered edge is clear (although delaminating).

Only my wind wings have this discoloration enhanced tinting.
