Can You Tell If a New Car's Glass Has Been Replaced?

[McAnthony]

New car glass that has been replaced can be identified by checking aspects such as the glass production date. Inspection Standards for Glass: In most cases, the standards of replaced glass will differ significantly from the original. Original glass not only features the car brand's logo but also the glass manufacturer's logo. Retail aftermarket manufacturers are prohibited from using the car brand's trademark on their glass. Checking the Production Date: Normally, the production date of the original glass is close to the vehicle's manufacturing date. If one piece of glass has a production date that differs greatly from others, it indicates the glass has been replaced. If each piece of glass has a different production date, be cautious, as this may suggest the car was involved in a major accident, leading to a full glass replacement. Checking the Manufacturer: By examining the manufacturer code on the glass, you can determine which company produced it. You can also check whether all the glass on the car comes from manufacturers within the same region to verify if any glass has been replaced.
