Owner report 10067572 · 2004-04-21 (April 21, 2004)
THE LAMINATION OR INSULATION IN THE DOUBLE PANE DOOR GLASS BREAKS DOWN OVER TIME CAUSING THE GLASS TO CLOUD UP. THE CLOUDING IS SO SEVERE THAT IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH THE GLASS IN AREAS WHERE THE COUDING EXISTS. THIS PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE CLOUDING WILL START ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND CAORNERS OF THE DOOR GLASS AND WORK INWARD UNTIL EVENTUALLY ONE CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE WINDOW. THE WINDOW GLASS IS LIKELY DEFECTIVE.*AK
