Anyone else notice...

Anyone else notice that the FR-S says AS1 on the windshield?

Every car I have driven has AS1 on the windshield. AS1 means clearest glass.

It is however, at least I found, to be stamped in an odd place. I have usually seen it in the upper left portion of the windshield and not centered like that and so high up. I usually use it as a reference point for window tinting to get it covered, but here in AArizona we tint everything because it's stupid hot..dry or not...it's hot.

For the nitty gritty details:

49 CFR 571.205 - Standard No. 205, Glazing materials.

as well as:

49 USC 30115 - Sec. 30115. Certification of compliance
U.S. Code - Title 5: Government Organization and Employees - 5 USC 552 - Sec. 552. Public information; agency rules, opinions, orders, records, and proceedings

I find it rather in a distracting position on the windshield. It would have been nice if it were more out of sight.
