Different Production Dates for New Car Glass?
1 Answers
As long as the production date of the glass is earlier than the vehicle's manufacturing date, there is no issue. The glass is uniformly procured by the manufacturer from suppliers. It must be purchased in advance and then used for vehicle assembly, hence the varying production dates. Since the glass is purchased in different batches, the dates will naturally differ. Unused glass from the same batch must be installed in the next vehicle. Car glass is externally sourced and assembled. During installation, it is randomly fitted based on the production batch, so differing dates are normal. Therefore, if the glass production date is later than the vehicle's manufacturing date or on the same day, it would indicate a problem. Additionally, the vehicle's production date refers to the date it enters the assembly line, which certainly won't be the same as the glass production date. The most common method for expressing glass production dates in the market currently is a combination of numbers and dots. The number represents the year, and the dots represent the month. The dots can appear before or after the number. Dots before the number indicate the first half of the year, with the number of dots multiplied by 7 representing the month. Dots after the number indicate the second half of the year, with the month calculated by subtracting the number of dots from 13.
