A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is used during the manufacturing of motor vehicles to help distinguish one car from another. This number contains information about your car including the engine size and optional accessories. The VIN may be requested to help us find which windshield or window is right for your vehicle. The VIN can also be found on a sticker located inside the jam of the driver side door.

Shade bands commonly come in green or blue and they are there to help the driver see better. This may also be called anti-glare. The primary function of this is to prevent glare from the sun while still allowing you to see through the windshield.

An infrared windshield reflects the infrared light waves and so reduces heat build-up from direct sunlight inside the car. This has advantages in terms of cutting down on the need for air conditioning. IR windshields block 50% or more of the infrared rays in sunlight and actually help you save gas!

Most cars come with factory window tint. If the car came with tint, we will have an exactly matched glass installed in the car, no questions asked. If window tint was applied to the vehicle by the owner, not to worry, any reputable tint shop can can match the shade to the other glass in the car.
