Here is a picture of the top edge of my windshield. Looks like 2 layers of glass to me.

Another possibility is that it says APTech - AGC Automotive and Safelite have an agreement to make glass to their spec, but it's produced here in the United States (In Enfield, NC if someone is really curious) - when this is the case the APTech logo is used, and I believe the DOT is 1005. If it's something else, post a picture and I can see about getting more info. I'm betting they used AP Tech glass in the car, it's what we have a lot of in stock - I know we don't stock the Japanese AGC AUTOMOTIVE branded glass - it's a dealer order part and more expensive to get. (AP Tech is also what I opted for, after finding out about the agreement between Safelite and AGC - otherwise I would have opted for the dealer part) |

Also, the glass is actually 3 layers - a inner and out pure glass piece, then sandwiched in-between is a printable area where they put the black polka dot like outline and the tinting (known as the 3rd visor frit).

Broken wind shields go with the territory when driving low cars. I have been lucky in that although I have been hit by hundreds of things (some looked like the Deathstar as they approached at high velocity) I haven't even received a chip much less a crack. My old Talon had gone through 3 by now.

Any problems or issues with the Safelite glass installed on their car? I need a windshield and want to get an idea of the quality of the Safelite glass. OEM glass is $325 before labor.

Windshield - Green Tint, Green Shade Windshield - Green Tint I received part #FW03591 GTN FYG, there doesn't seem to be that green/blue shade at the top of the windshield anymore. Did I receive the wrong windshield? Edit: I did in fact receive the wrong windshield, they are replacing it with the correct one in a week. So if you want the tint that comes down to the as1 line you need "FW03591 GGNN". My original invoice states this and they installed the wrong one anyway?! Who the fuck doesn't check part numbers before trying to install something worth several hundred dollars? Last edited by Trueweltall; 01-30-2019 at 02:41 PM. |

On the topic does anyone else have thousands of microdots from small sand/road debris? This accumulated within months of me buying the car. I'm hoping that I can get insurance to flex because honestly it's kinda hard to see with light refraction. Also it shreds my wiper blades leading to smearing instead of wiping properly.

Insurance won't cover that since it is just normal wear and tear. It has to be broken in a manner that can not be repaired before most insurance companies will even touch it. The joys of owning a low car with a sloping hood that doesn't defect the bulk of the flying sand.

Do microdots really wear wiper blades so much? i mean, they are very small holes, not bumps, maybe you should try to clay your windshield if it destroys your blades so much |

Yes, not so much dots as light scratches. Noticed them driving my car new off the lot so I've always attributed it to the quality of a windshield that comes with a $25k car.
