I wonder if a clear plastic protector will help on theses. I know there is some out there that go on the outside of a window.Unfortunately I think this is going to be a common problem

He was driving across multiple states with many temp and humidity changes. Chances are he had warmer, humid air (hello, NC...among other places) in the headlight housing and ran into some cold air. The water vapor in the headlight just condensed inside the housing. This probably happened repeatedly without enough time in a warmer, dryer area to allow the water to evaporate.I'm curious. Why would that be normal?
I doubt that'll happen. Heat, UV from sunlight, and pollutants in the air are what cause headlights to yellow. Polycarbonate is tough and looks great but doesn't care for the elements.Not supose to be normal. That moisture will start turning in yellow the headlight with time. Go to your dealer and they should replace them.
Not as bad as the wranglers I've owned thoughi heard folks predicting the windshield would be vulnerable to rocks and cracks, i guess it sits kind of vertcle
They way I see it, if moisture can get inside, pollutants and others element can do it as well affecting the cosmetic durability of the headlights. Also in winter, that moisture can be frozen and it could affect the efficacy of the headlight.I doubt that'll happen.

Maybe. From what I've read, heat from the lamp opens microscopic pores in the lens that allow contaminates in, so I guess that could be on the inside as well as the outside. While driving, though, I think road contaminants, exhaust fumes, dirt, etc, cause a large majority of issues, and UV light turns it yellow. Polycarbonate can stop bullets but not mother nature, LOL. I've restored a few sets of lights, and working just on the outside has made them crystal clear and eliminated the yellowing, but I've never restored any that had a lot of water inside.They way I see it, if moisture can get inside, pollutants and others element can do it as well affecting the cosmetic durability of the headlights.

you will have to read the owners manual on line as Ford no longer puts one in the glove compartment.Good to know. Thank you. I guess i should probably read the owners manual hahahaha
I changed my insurance to a $0 deductible because I expect to replace a windshield annually.Unfortunately I think this is going to be a common problem
I went with $150. I felt this was a better solution than pay $600+ for exo-shield that would only become a problem latter. Besides mine is not a daily driver so that lessens the opportunity as well.I changed my insurance to a $0 deductible because I expect to replace a windshield annually.
I have had the ford bug selector on my truck since new, January and over 8k miles. My windshield looks great. It’s great reduced impacts highly recommend.Unfortunately I think this is going to be a common problem
