The screen ends up adsorbing the water and moisture in between it's two layers of glass, causing it to delaminate, which makes it very weak.

I can get them out with wire, but even then, trying to save the terminals on the bottom of the glass is very very hard, and most end up breaking the solder joint rendering it useless.
If my screen gets cracks in it will my insurance company pay for a new screen ???

As its the wire heated type k reg sapphire ???
