How to Check the Date on a Car's Windshield?

[SanDante]

The method to check the date on a car's windshield is as follows: Usually, there is a string of characters in the lower left or right corner of the windshield, such as ...13, which represents April 2013. The number 13 stands for the year 2013, and the number of dots before the year indicates the month. Subtract the number of dots from 7 (7-3=4) to get the month. This method is also applicable when assessing the condition of a used car during purchase: 1. Check if the production dates of all the glass panels on the vehicle are the same. If they are, it indicates the car hasn't been involved in a major collision. 2. If the year on one piece of glass differs from the others, it means that piece has been replaced. 3. Of course, if the production date of the windshield is very close to the current year when you inspect the car, you should definitely not buy it.
