THIS IS A 2008 VEHICLE ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT, 50,000 MILES, EDGES OF WINDSHIELD ARE DELAMINATING, THE EDGES NOT EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER AND ELEMENTS. THIS COMPROMISES THE WINDSHIELDS STRENGTH. EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE LOOKS BRAND NEW WITH NO WEAR AND TEAR. CAN SUBMIT PICTURES IF YOU PROVIDE E MAIL ADDRESS TO SEND TO.
